On 1st November, Fredrik Wikfeldt took over as CEO of LASER COMPONENTS Nordic
AB. He holds a master’s degree in engineering physics from the Royal Institute of Techno-
logy in Stockholm and brings more than twenty years of sales and management expertise
in the electronics and manufacturing industry as well as a deep technical knowledge of
industrial image processing and measurement technologies. Before joining LASER COM-
PONENTS Nordic AB, he held positions of Product Manager, Sales Manager, and Chief
Operating Officer for local and international companies such as Stemmer Imaging and Carl
Zeiss.
“My goal is to provide customer-oriented solutions and establish long-term business relations-
hips without losing sight of the overall sales figures,” says Fredrik Wikfeldt, explaining his
plans for the future. His core strategy is to focus on further growing the business of in-house
developed products such as custom-made optics and fibre optic assemblies as well as
standardised optoelectronic components. This portfolio will be complemented with high-end
products from strategic suppliers. To achieve his goal, Wikfeldt plans to expand the sales
team across the region.
Wikfeldt succeeds Mikael Winters who had led the company since it was established in
August 2014 as a sales subsidiary of the LASER COMPONENTS Group. During his fi-
ve-year tenure he helped the company achieve a leading position as a supplier of photonics
components in the Nordic countries. Winters, who has a strong background in academi-
cal research, left the company at his own request to focus on more research related sales
activities.
