Smart Group gets new majority shareholder and CEO

Experienced executive and entrepreneur Søren Mosevang is the new CEO and majority investor at Smart Group ApS. He joins the company’s management team alongside Ole Kobæk and Jan-Erik Ørum-Petersen.

As of April 2023, Søren Mosevang takes up the position as CEO of Smart Group ApS. He also acquires 50,2 percent and thereby the majority of shares in the company.

Mosevang has extensive experience as an entrepreneur, business owner, and investor. He has been operating within the fields of strategy, sales, supply chain management, and general management and has contributed to substantial business growth in the companies, he has worked for. Besides his managing mindset, Søren possesses a strong technical knowhow due to his background in technical construction.

I’m very pleased to be able to announce that I have joined Smart Group as both CEO and co-owner. The company has been and still is on a special journey to provide contractors worldwide with professional and reliable glass robots. The products that Ole have developed are rock solid, and I look forward to taking their work to the next level, tells the new CEO.

Søren Mosevang’s appointment will result in a few organizational changes in Smart Group, as Ole Kobæk has decided to step down as CEO and devote his time to technical tasks and R&D. Ole Kobæk will take on a new role as CTO and remains as co-owner in the company. Jan-Erik Ørum-Petersen remains in his role as CSO and co-owner and will continue to lead international sales activities and internal sales coordination.

The acquisition and arrival of the new CEO is welcomed by the Smart Group founders as Mosevang’s co-ownership and skills provide a strong foundation for further development of the company.

Our first years have been all about developing a product that meet the market demands for high-performing hydraulic glass-lifting devices. The construction industry is moving towards a massive focus on sustainability, and we now have a product range with a solid proof-of-concept that has a high relevance for companies who want to promote a healthier working environment. With Søren as co-owner and CEO we are ready to scale our business to more customers and markets, says Ole Kobæk.
