Zoran Aleksic, Managing Director of SJOLUND A/S in Kolding for the past four years, is returning to his home country of Germany. The owner of the company, Søren Ravn, will again take over as the director.
SJOLUND A/S in Kolding, which handles complex tasks involving the rolling and processing of steel and aluminum profiles, will undergo a change in daily management at the end of September 2024. At this time, the company’s owner, Søren Ravn, along with the rest of the management team, which includes Factory Manager Kasper Straarup and CFO Lars Jørgensen, will assume daily management responsibilities.
The reason for this change is that Zoran Aleksic, who has been the Managing Director for four years, has carefully decided to return to his home country, Germany, for family and job-related reasons. This move will take place before his son starts school next year. Zoran Aleksic is taking on a new challenge as part of the top management team in a larger medium-sized German company (a family business). After four years of ownership under a German private equity firm, SJOLUND A/S returned to Danish ownership in 2022, with Søren Ravn as the owner. Since the repurchase in 2022, the business has been heavily focused on regaining its position as a strong niche company in profile rolling. Last year’s financial results showed that the business was once again healthy.
“SJOLUND A/S is in very good shape again. We have received massive support from employees, customers, and partners in rebuilding the company. The company’s focus is now back on profile rolling and machining – this is the company’s core competency. We have successfully regained the company’s strong position, and therefore, with peace of mind, I can follow my family’s wish to return to Germany. But it was not an easy decision. SJOLUND A/S is a fantastic company,” says Zoran Aleksic. Søren Ravn, owner of SJOLUND A/S, regrets that Zoran Aleksic is leaving the company but understands the decision: “Zoran Aleksic has done a great job for SJOLUND, but I understand him well. Together with the rest of the management team, he has led the effort to build a strong company that is ready for the future. I am very grateful for this and wish him all the best for the future.”
In the coming months, Zoran Aleksic will gradually hand over his responsibilities to Søren Ravn and the rest of the management team.
