Jean-Paul Mindermann is born in 1965 and is of Spanish and German nationalities.

I am personally excited to have the opportunity to continue the successful development of Trelleborg Industrial Solutions together with Jean-Paul,” says Peter Nilsson, President and CEO of Trelleborg. 

“It is with great pleasure that I have accepted this assignment. I am committed to taking on this new responsibility, leveraging experience from other parts of the Group,” says Jean-Paul Mindermann. 

Mikael Fryklund has been Business Area President of Trelleborg Industrial Solutions since its creation in 2012, and has been part of Trelleborg for the past 15 years in various positions.  

“I would like to thank Mikael for the solid work that he has done for the business area and for the Group. His operational hands-on experience and skills in managing a diverse business like Trelleborg Industrial Solutions, have been invaluable. I am sorry to see Mikael leave, but I do of course wish him all the best in his new role,” concludes Peter Nilsson.
