John Hurtig joins from Hedin Motor Company, the group’s Ford distribution business in Sweden, where he has served as CEO for nearly four years.
 
At the same time, Raine Wermelin has been appointed as the new CEO of Hedin HMC Motor Company AB. He most recently held the position of COO for Hedin Automotive Bavaria, where he was responsible for Hedin Mobility Group’s BMW business in Sweden, Norway, and Finland.

Anders Hedin, CEO of Hedin Mobility Group, is highly satisfied with the new appointments:

"Both John Hurtig and Raine Wermelin have demonstrated strong business results during their years within Hedin Mobility Group. We are operating in a challenging time for the industry, where strong leadership is crucial to driving growth and strengthening our customer offering. With John’s and Raine’s experience, leadership, and dedication, I am confident they will play a key role in our continued development. I look forward to following their journey and the value they will bring to Hedin Nordic Truck and Hedin Motor Company."
