Sekab recruits from Stegra as Karl Björnfot steps in as Chief Technology Officer.
Karl Björnfot most recently held the roles of Engineering Manager and interim Head of Engineering at Stegra (formerly H2 Green Steel). He has also worked in similar positions at Northvolt and had a long international career within the Shell Group, where he held senior roles in both production and development projects, including petrochemicals.
– Karl’s background, combining deep experience from process industries and key insights from two of Europe’s major green industrial projects, makes him highly qualified to lead Sekab’s technology and development into the next phase. We see great potential to take an even greater role in the industrial transition – with our operations in Örnsköldsvik as the foundation, says Emil Källström, CEO of Sekab.
Sekab’s focus is both on developing and optimizing its current production in Örnsköldsvik and on creating new fossil-free products that support lower emissions in industry.
– What attracted me to Sekab is the combination of proven technology delivering fossil-free chemicals every day and the opportunity to build on that knowledge. I look forward to continue contributing to green industrial development in northern Sweden, says Karl Björnfot.
Karl Björnfot assumed the role in May 2025.
