He will continue to be a member of Cargotec's Leadership Team and report to president and CEO Mika Vehviläinen.
"It is a privilege for me to be part of the Cargotec journey. I’m very excited about the opportunity and look forward to working with the Kalmar Mobile Solutions leadership team to grow the business both profitably and sustainably," said van Roozendaal.
Following van Roozendaal’s appointment, Leif Byström, currently MacGregor’s COO and interim head of the Offshore Solutions Division, has been appointed president of the MacGregor business area, also reporting to Vehviläinen.
“I am honoured to have the opportunity to lead MacGregor on the next stage of our journey towards becoming the leader in sustainable maritime cargo and load handling, and contributing to the continued growth of Cargotec as a member of the leadership team,” added Byström.
Following the appointment of van Roozendaal, Stefan Lampa, who has been a member of the Cargotec leadership team and leading Kalmar Mobile Solutions since April 2019, will step down from his position.
"I look forward to working with Michel as he leads Kalmar Mobile Solutions to the next phase. Michel’s successful leadership and solid experience within MacGregor, combined with his knowledge of the maritime industry, makes him well prepared to lead the business," said Vehviläinen.
"I extend my warm congratulations to Leif Byström as the incoming president of MacGregor. Leif has a broad experience and an excellent track record of business development and transformation throughout his years with MacGregor."
