Sandvik has appointed Richard Harris as president of business for Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions (SRP) and will become a new member of the Sandvik Group Executive Management, effective from 1 October 2022.

Harris succeeds Anders Svensson, who has previously announced that he is leaving Sandvik to become President and CEO of Konecranes. Richard Harris is currently President of Walter, a division within the business area of Sandvik Manufacturing and Machining Solutions.

Stefan Widing, President and CEO of Sandvik, says, “Richard Harris is an experienced international leader with a very strong operational background who has proven great performance management and execution skills during his years at Sandvik. In addition, he has successfully driven an active growth and acquisition agenda. I am convinced that he will be a very good fit as business area President for SRP and a great addition to the Group Executive Management.”
