Fredrik Bodin to Become New CEO of Nordisk Hiss in Värmland

Fredrik Bodin has been appointed the new CEO of Nordisk Hiss in Värmland and will assume the position on January 1, 2025. Fredrik is currently the CEO of Vinga Hiss, a sister company based in Gothenburg. Both companies are part of the Motum Group.

Since 2019, Fredrik Bodin has served as CEO of Vinga Hiss in Gothenburg, which is part of Motum, a sustainable elevator and door group. Earlier this year, Fredrik was elected to the board of the Swedish Elevator Association to advocate for improvements in the industry regarding safety, sustainability, and workforce development, among other issues.

Effective January 1, 2025, Fredrik Bodin will take over from Jonas Jacobsson, who is currently CEO of Nordisk Hiss in Värmland. Jonas will join the organization as a business developer and sales representative to work with the company’s customers on developing new offerings and thereby enhance the company’s appeal.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jonas Jacobsson, who has done a fantastic job as CEO and, together with the employees in Värmland, has developed Nordisk Hiss in Värmland in an exemplary manner. Jonas is and has been a highly valued leader and colleague, and we are very pleased that we will retain his expertise within the company and that he can now contribute his passion for the development of elevator services in a more focused manner,” concludes Fredrik Eliasson.

Improve elevator safety in residential buildings – equal laws for equal elevators!

Sweden has Europe’s oldest elevator fleet, and more than half of our elevators are over 30 years old. Many of the older elevators lack the necessary safety equipment found in modern elevators. This means that elevator users are exposed daily to risks that could easily be avoided. Two main categories of elevators have previously been identified as causing the most serious accidents: elevators with dangerous inner doors and elevators that lack any protection at the car opening.

The Motum companies have been recertified in quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety

For the fourth consecutive year, the Motum companies have undergone a multisite certification process in which the audit process was coordinated across the companies. The multisite certificate is the result of coordinated efforts within the Group, where the Swedish companies share a common management system, processes, and procedures. We are very proud that the Motum Group’s management system has been recertified. It is a testament to the companies’ long-term commitment to continuous improvement in quality, the environment, and workplace safety.

Once again, we are highlighting Motum’s significant commitment to sustainability and a better environment for everyone by focusing on the right choice of materials, opting for electricity as an energy source whenever possible, and always aiming to prioritize the modernization of elevators rather than building entirely new ones. In this way, we can preserve the value of what actually works while replacing what has worn out beyond repair. Read our latest report here.
