WILLBRANDT aims to grow in Sweden, where we see great potential for WILLBRANDT’s products. Therefore, WILLBRANDT is now expanding its sales team and has hired Per Bolinder to help handle the Swedish customers.
– “We want to strengthen our efforts in the Swedish market and be closer to our customers. It is great that we now have so many customers and a market share that justifies further employment.
We have chosen a person who lives in the Gothenburg area on purpose, as we have many customers in this area and see an even greater potential.” says Johnny Anekjær, CEO at WILLBRANDT Gummiteknik.
In addition to Sweden, Per will also have Norway as his area of responsibility.
At WILLBRANDT, we welcome our new colleague, and we are very much looking forward for us and our customers to get know him. Consequently, we have done a short interview with Per, where he tells a little about himself and the expectations, he has for the future together with WILLBRANDT.
Who are you and what is your background?
Well, my name is Per Bolinder and I am a cheerful chap at almost 40. I am married and have two children. We live a little outside Gothenburg, where I partly spend my free time practicing taekwondo and partly enjoying outdoor life with my children.
I have a degree in automation engineering from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. After graduating, I have worked with sales and business development within the Offshore industry, and I also have my own company, where I develop APPs for the marine industry.
What made you choose to work for WILLBRANDT?
WILLBRANDT is a good and solid company, known for high quality, which I find very attractive. I am an honest person who is passionate about sales, so it is important for me to work for a company that can vouch 100 percent for its products. At WILLBRANDT, I am sure that the products I offer my customers are of the best quality.
What areas will be your focus areas?
In addition, I also believe that there is a huge potential within the chemical industry. As I see it, it goes hand in hand with shipping, quite simply because it is not practical to transport chemicals over longer distances by lorry.
What are you mostly looking forward to?
First of all, I hope to get to work with ships and harbours. I have been working within the maritime sector for 15 years, and I love the sea, so I am really looking forward to getting started.

What are your expectations for the job?
I think I will thrive and at the same time it will be challenging, and then, of course, I expect to become an expert on vibration dampers, compensators, and elastomers.
