Johan Magnusson

Johan Magnusson is the CEO of Kährs, a flooring manufacturer based in Nybro, Sweden, with a history spanning over 160 years. He has been leading the company through challenging times, particularly following the surge in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent dramatic decline in market demand, which has seen a 50% drop in sales from peak levels. Under his leadership, Kährs has had to reduce its workforce significantly, and Magnusson has expressed concerns regarding rising wage demands from labor unions amidst a tough economic climate marked by high interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty.
