Change of Guards at Envirotainer
Sofia Wiwen-Nilsson
Head of Marketing and Communications
After five years with the company, Michael Berg will step down as CEO. Peter Gisel-Ekdahl is appointed as new CEO of Envirotainer as of September 1st, 2021.
After five years with the company, Michael Berg will step down as CEO of Envirotainer, as of September 1. During his time Envirotainer has developed strongly. Revenue and profitability have increased substantially, customer satisfaction NPS scores have doubled, and the organization has been strengthened. Through Michael’s leadership the container fleet has been upgraded and expanded, and Envirotainer has increased the innovation leadership through the recent launch of the new Releye® platform.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the owners, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Michael for the excellent work done. Michael will stay on as an advisor to the Board and the owners in order to continue to share his experience.
Peter Gisel-Ekdahl has been appointed as new CEO of Envirotainer, effective September 1. Peter has a long and successful track record in international business and was most recently the President of Business Area AirTech and Group Vice President at Munters Group. He holds an MSc from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and an MBA from Copenhagen Business School.
Please join me in wishing Peter warmly welcome to Envirotainer!
Best regards,
Kenneth Bengtsson
Chairman of the Board, Envirotainer
“I am very proud of what we together have achieved during the past five years. With a strong, passionate and efficient organization, our clear market and digital leadership, the revolutionary new Releye® container platform just launched and a very strong pipeline of more great products and digital services, Envirotainer is stronger than ever. I feel it is a very good time to pass the baton to Peter.”

We thank Michael for his significant contribution and good collaboration. Envirotainer today is a much stronger and more agile company than in 2016 – ideally positioned for continued success.”

“It is with great joy that I have accepted the offer to lead Envirotainer into the future. I am extremely impressed by what the people at Envirotainer have created, and we will continue to build on the position achieved by satisfying customers and other stakeholders in order to strengthen the supply chain for pharma products even more in our ambition to make people healthier around the world.”
