Hydroline welcomes Lars Hellberg to its Board of Directors

We are thrilled to announce that Mr. Lars Hellberg has joined Hydroline’s Board of Directors.

Lars strengthens our Board with his extensive industry experience and leadership. Over the course of his career, spanning more than 40 years in the off-highway, automotive, and marine industries, he has held leadership roles at Volvo Cars, General Motors / Saab Automotive, Wärtsilä, and most recently Fortaco Group, where he served as President & CEO until his retirement in December 2024.

Throughout his career, Lars has been recognized for his strong track record in driving strategic transformation, customer business interactions, operational excellence, and digital development. His leadership has played a key role in turning Fortaco Group into a major player in the off-highway equipment sector. He has also received multiple Volvo Technology Awards for innovations in engine technologies and traction control systems.

Staying at the forefront of mobile hydraulics demands constant evolution and excellence in everything we do. Hydroline’s 60-year history is built on continuous improvement, and it’s this commitment that keeps us moving forward. That’s why we’re confident that Lars’s experience and forward-thinking mindset will strongly support our long-term vision, especially as we focus on sustainable growth, customer-driven development, and technological leadership.

“I’ve been familiar with Hydroline from a distance for the past few years and have been impressed by the progress made toward continuous excellence, delivering value to customers, engaging the team, and building a strong foundation for stakeholders,” says Mr. Hellberg. “I’m truly looking forward to working with the team to explore strategic and profitable growth opportunities.”

We have strong confidence in our team and our strategy. With Lars on the Board, we are even better positioned to navigate change and shape the future of our industry in a more sustainable and efficient way.
