en.Wedoany.com Reported - German metal recycling company Lindemann Metal Recycling has announced a management change: Rudolf Riedel will assume the role of CEO at the end of this month, succeeding Carl Gustaf Göransson, who is completing his three-year contract term.

Göransson joined Lindemann after it was spun off from Finland's Metso. Lindemann noted that over the past three years, he led the company into a new era of independence, supported brand revitalization, and guided the organization through a turbulent economic environment, all while maintaining a clear focus on customers, innovation, and operational progress. The company believes that Göransson's three-year tenure was marked by transformation, resilience, and renewed momentum, helping Lindemann achieve its current position as a technology leader and premium player in the global metal recycling market.

Lindemann stated that under Göransson's leadership, the company strengthened its shredder product line, reshaped aftermarket commercial discipline, deepened customer relationships, and launched a new mid-range product portfolio, creating a stronger platform for profitable growth.

The incoming CEO, Riedel, is a trained mechanical engineer who has served as CEO and Managing Director at several German mid-sized industrial companies, bringing over 25 years of senior executive leadership experience in technology-driven industrial and capital equipment sectors. Lindemann stated that under Riedel's leadership, customer focus will remain central, and his priorities include working closely with customers to consolidate the company's progress, strengthen long-term partnerships, and ensure continued delivery of the technology, services, and support needed for customer success.

Dan Josefsberg, Operating Partner at Lindemann's new owner, Sweden's Mimir, said that Göransson led Lindemann through a significant transformation period with commitment, energy, and clarity, joining the company amid immense change and leaving it stronger, more focused, and fully prepared for the next phase. He also noted that Riedel brings the experience, industry knowledge, and leadership qualities the company needs, and that Göransson is handing over the company to extremely capable hands.

Göransson stated that leading Lindemann over the past three years and working alongside passionate, dedicated colleagues has been an honor, and that the team together navigated challenging times in the industry, strengthened the product, and laid the foundation for the company's future. He is confident that Lindemann, under Riedel's leadership, will be fully prepared for continued success.

Lindemann's history dates back to 1913, designing and manufacturing scrap processing equipment including shredders, shears, and balers, as well as providing aftermarket and spare parts services.
