Fredrik Alfredsson, formerly global head of sales, has been appointed CEO of Bjelin Group

Bjelin, a Swedish-based flooring manufacturer with showrooms and retailers throughout the U.S. and Canada, is entering a new phase of growth with a strong industrial focus, marked by the formation of Bjelin Group, which consolidates seven companies under one structure fully owned by Pervanovo Invest AB. This strategic shift will streamline development and production across three key areas: floors, furniture, and veneers – with veneer as the central component in both flooring and furniture. Fredrik Alfredsson becomes CEO while Magnus Eriksson is appointed CFO.

Having established a strong presence in the residential flooring market – particularly with its wide Woodura Planks – Bjelin is now extending its commitment to the global commercial sector. The company will intensify its focus on real estate developers, hotels, restaurants, offices and retail spaces, reinforcing its market presence across Scandinavia, Europe, APAC and the Americas.

To lead this transformation, Fredrik Alfredsson, formerly Global Head of Sales, has been appointed CEO of Bjelin Group.

Sebastian Vrbanc, currently Head of Industrial Activities, will step into the role of Chief Operation Officer, bringing over a decade of experience in flooring production. CFO Magnus Eriksson brings extensive experience, and he joins the group from his recent role at Stommen, a European furniture group. Ulrik Petersson has also joined the group as Chief Marketing Officer.

Bjelin’s founder, Darko Pervan, remains Chairman of the Board with Tony Pervan, Daniel Pervan and Fredrik Alfredsson as board members.

Fredrik Alfredsson says: “Bjelin has made significant investments in Croatia, securing control over the entire value chain from sawmills and raw materials to veneer factories. This ensures sustainable sourcing and large-scale production capacity, positioning Bjelin as a global player. The veneer business has expanded significantly, enabling global sales and reinforcing Bjelin’s industrial strength.”

Leveraging its expertise with sister company, Välinge Innovation’s Woodura and click technology, Bjelin will also enter the furniture market, starting with dining tables. The company will adopt the successful blueprint from its flooring business, focusing on commercial and retail segments.

Bjelin, owned by the Pervanovo Invest AB group, develops and manufactures a broad range of wood floors and furniture, as well as innovative flooring solutions made from new materials.
