transaction. The company is expected to continue to grow
organically and through acquisitions.
The company is experiencing strong growth in Asia both from its
existing blue chip client base as well as from new customers, and
is establishing further local production facilities in China and
India to meet the large demand. In 2008, Lars-Åke Rydh assumed the
chairman position after 14 years as the company's CEO and Stefan
Ekqvist was appointed new CEO. During 2008, Nefab also made several
smaller add-on acquisitions in Europe.
