There will be a new business unit for Middle East, India, Africa (MEIA), which will be led by Thomas Wulkan, currently President for SCA Personal Care Europe; a new Global Hygiene Supply Unit, which will be headed by William Ledger, currently Vice President Supply Chain, SCA Tissue Europe; and a new Global Business and Service Support Unit, which will be led by Robert Sjostrom, in addition to his present position as Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development.

The business unit for SCA Americas will be headed by Don Lewis, currently President for SCA AFH Tissue North America. Christoph Michalski will continue as President for the Global Hygiene Category Unit, and Ulf Soderstrom will continue as President for the business unit SCA Asia Pacific (APAC).

The new hygiene organisation will be effective as of 1st January 2012. The Presidents for the above new units will be members of SCA's Corporate Senior Management Team.

"The new organisation will enable us to further leverage on our global scale, making us more efficient," promises ," says Jan Johansson, SCA's CEO and President. "It will also empower us to act as an even closer local partner to customers. By strengthening our global market presence, it will facilitate our capitalising on demographic, economic and consumer-lifestyle changes, especially in emerging markets.
