Jan. 5, 2026 – Dacke Industri is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Kenneth Carlsson as president of Precision and Protection, effective Jan. 1, 2026.

He is currently CEO of one of Dacke's subsidiaries, UVA LIDKÖPING, a worldwide leading global supplier of high precision grinding machines for 150 years, with more than 10,000 machines installed around the world.

With our international focus and strong expertise in precision technology and safety solutions, I look forward to working with the team to develop our offering and strengthen the division’s role as a reliable partner globally,” said Kenneth Carlsson, president Precision and Protection of Dacke Industri.
