I would like to extend my deep gratitude to everyone working at or with Atlas Copco Group, it is the people that has made and continues to make the company what it is and has been during the last 151 years,” said Mats Rahmström. “I am excited to follow the development of the Group from the sidelines, and it will be with a deep sense of pride.”
