Primary Evidence

"Finn Rausing chose instead to take a more purely ownership role on the board. With his previous controller experience, he also took on the role of chairman of the board’s audit committee. Thereby, he gained a more in-depth insight into the corporate group’s financial position, transactions, and risk management. Both Jörn and Finn contributed with competence but also with the Rausing surname which opened doors to various types of decision-makers and strengthened the long relationships with larger customers and subcontractors."

"After IndustriKapital listed Alfa Laval on the stock market in 2002, the Rausing family became the largest shareholders and their share has gradually increased from about 18 percent to 29.1 percent in 2020. The family owns their share through the company Tetra Laval B.V. in the Netherlands. “We will continue to be committed owners as long as we own a significant part of the company,” Jörn Rausing stated in Affärsvärlden in 2012, while emphasizing that the ownership was not a strategic holding for the Tetra Laval group. Both Jörn and Finn Rausing sit on the board of Alfa Laval."

"Rolf Eriksen, who drove H&M to record profits after Fabian Månsson's departure, has often guided Karl-Johan Persson around the headquarters and taken him to important meetings. Karl-Johan studied at the European Business School in London. He also started the conference company European Network and runs, among others with the heir to another family dynasty, Finn Rausing, the English company Sportpro Limited which sponsors young sports talents. Three years earlier, he had been elected to the H&M board and he has also been in charge of H&M's expansion."
