Listed on Nasdaq First North, Freemelt has appointed Håkan Grundin to the newly created position of Regional Manager for the EMEA market. His mission is to build a sales and service organization with a focus on partnerships with leading universities and the introduction of the industrial machine, eMELT. Håkan Grundin will take up the position by June 28, 2023, at the latest.

Håkan Grundin is a medical physicist who has worked in leading positions within GE Healthcare for the past six years. He developed the market for computed tomography as responsible for the Nordics and then the entire EMEA region, and later as global product manager. He has extensive experience in sales, marketing, service, and leadership, including from companies such as GE Healthcare, Toshiba Medical, and Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg.

"Freemelt has an innovative technology that targets a very large global market and also has the potential to create new types of applications. The fact that Freemelt is founded by world-leading experts in 3D printing with electron beams is a major reason why I chose Freemelt," says Håkan Grundin, continuing:

"We will continue to grow both in the R&D area and in the manufacturing industry. The new organization will focus on expanding partnerships with leading universities and launching eMELT, which is set to be successful."

"Håkan Grundin's experience in both research, development, and the medical technology market, as well as his extensive experience in marketing and sales, makes him perfect for developing Freemelt in new markets. We now have another strong recruitment in place for continued commercial expansion," says Daniel Gidlund, Freemelt's CEO.

The research machine Freemelt ONE is designed for and used by several world-leading universities and research institutes that conduct advanced research on new materials and manufacturing processes. Soon, eMELT, Freemelt's industrial machine, will be introduced to the market, which means that the company is entering a new phase.

"Freemelt ONE is the obvious choice for R&D, and eMELT is the natural step for the manufacturing industry when implementing the latest technology, where productivity and efficiency are in focus," says Håkan Grundin.
