Ex-CASE Construction global president Carl Gustaf Göransson’s latest challenge is to revitalise the world’s oldest metal recycling company – LINDEMANN. Like his machines that convert scrap back into valuable metals, Göransson is a skilled transformer.

And now this laid-back and approachable Swede has a new challenge…
