Männedorf, Switzerland – February 2, 2026

 Swarovski International Holding AG has appointed further members to its Board of Directors: Ms. Jing Ulrich, a global investment banking executive, investor and board member joins the Board as its sixth Independent Director. Ms. Nadja Swarovski-Adams and Ms. Carina Schiestl-Swarovski, both 5th Generation, and Mr. Arturo Pacifico Griffini, 6th Generation, are the new family-appointed Family Directors along with Ms. Beatrice Ballini, new family-appointed External Director who was delegated by Mr. Markus Langes-Swarovski.

Markus Fiechter, Manuel Martinez, Robert Singer, and Chair of the Board Ms. Luisa Delgado, Independent Directors, and 5th Generation Family Directors Messrs. Mathias Margreiter and Robert Buchbauer, Vice Chair. 

The changes follow last year's unanimous family shareholder decision to create an integrated global Crystal Group by incorporating the Wattens-based operations, strengthening the Family governance and settling all their legal disputes, thereby laying the foundation for the next phase of successful business development and value creation, on the back of the group concluding its successful business turnaround initiated in 2021 and return to positive financial results.

(Redwitz a.d. Rodach, 28.01.2026) Den tyske WPC-spesialisten (Wood-Polymer-Composite) Naturinform utvider sitt internasjonale salgsteam ytterligere: Mikael Gustafsson (45) jobber fra nå av som Nordic Sales Manager for de skandinaviske og baltiske markedene, med spesielt fokus på Finland. I sin funksjon rapporterer han direkte til Edward Robinson, Director International Business Development. Den erfarne salgsproffen kjenner allerede den regionale kundebasen svært godt. Tidligere jobbet Gustafsson også for en tysk produsent av gulvbelegg i de nevnte landene og har derfor omfattende markeds- og bransjekunnskap. Mikael Gustafsson bor med familien sin i Vaasa på den finske vestkysten. Han snakker finsk, svensk og engelsk og har dermed ideelle forutsetninger for å betjene de nordiske markedene. I tillegg til salgskarrieren ser Gustafsson tilbake på en karriere som profesjonell fotballspiller i Finland og Sverige, en opplevelse som sterkt har formet lagånden og prestasjonsorienteringen hans.
