Mikael Stöhr has now taken over as CEO of the Green Cargo Group. He has an industrial background which is complemented with international experience from the Swedish Trade Council. He will lead the Group with its core business of rail transports, a service which is in great demand.
“Since the recession began, Green Cargo has successfully managed to cut costs. It is now time to start growing again, and we will do so with improved profitability.

Mikael Stöhr emphasizes that he is not entering the business with any set solutions, but he is convinced that Green Cargo will improve its ability to understand what customers want of the company.
“Being a Green Cargo customer must be easy and beneficial. If we are successful in this area, Green Cargo’s profitability will improve,” says Mikael Stöhr.
