Swedcham News
Advisory Council meets at Alfa Laval
The latest meeting with Swedcham’s Advisory
Council took place on the Swedish National
Day, June 6, at the premises of Alfa Laval. The
Managing Director Reginaldo Macedo generously
hosted the event. Some 25 members of
the Council participated, all representatives
of Swedcham’s major members. Also present
were Swedcham’s honorary members, the
Minister Counsellor of the Swedish Embassy
Pernilla Josefsson Lazo, the Consul General in
São Paulo Renato Pacheco Neto and the Head
of Business Sweden Johan Norén.
The main point on the agenda was the report
given by Swedcham’s Managing Director Jonas
Lindström about the state of affairs at the
Chamber and its major events. The report was
met with approval by the Council.
The President of Tetra Pak Ltda. Paulo Nigro
is shortly leaving Brazil for a new assignment
in the US. He was duly and warmly thanked
for all his active and never-ceasing support of
the Chamber. We wish Paulo all the best. He
introduced his successor Marcelo Queiroz, who
was met with a cordial welcome.
In a much appreciated exposé, Reginaldo
Macedo presented Alfa Laval, how it all started
and how it looks today. After the presentation
everybody was invited to tour the factory
under professional guidance. The day at Alfa
Laval ended with a very good luncheon where
everyone raised his and her glass to a toast for
Sweden on the day when 491 years ago Gustav
Vasa was proclaimed King of Sweden in the
cathedral of Strängnäs.
