President and Group Executive Management

The President is accountable for Group decision-making in all areas delegated by the Board. In order to ensure a full Group perspective in these matters, the President has appointed the Group Executive Management as an advisory forum, focusing on how to achieve Group targets, strategies, structure and organization. The Group Executive Management meets each month and its members are accountable for implementing the President’s decisions.

Business areas

The Sandvik organizational model is based on a decentralized business model. Since the spin-off of the Sandvik Materials Technology business area in August 2022, there are three separate business areas – Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions, Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions and Sandvik Manufacturing and Machining Solutions – each based on distinct product offerings. Each business area has full responsibility and accountability for its respective business results.

Sandvik Manufacturing and Machining Solutions is divided into two business area segments – Sandvik Machining Solutions and Sandvik Manufacturing Solutions. Further, each of the three business areas is organized in a number of divisions based on product offering or brand. The division is the highest operational level in the Sandvik organizational structure. Certain divisions that are based on a product offering are also divided into business units representing a defined part of the product offering.

Group functions

There are five Group functions within Sandvik: Communications and Sustainability, Finance, HR, Legal and IT. Group functions specifically focus on setting the appropriate enabling structures and processes that are common for the Group or cover a specific area for which the Group is responsible.
