Biography
- Jenny Lind?n Urnes is the chairman and owner of $1.9 billion (sales) Lind?ngruppen, which she inherited from her father in 2009.
- The industrial group owns 50% of H?gan's AB, a leading maker of powdered metal, and Beckers, which produces industrial coatings.
- Her father, Ulf G. Lind?n, a former Volvo executive, built up a private stake in H?gan's AB, and took it private in 1987.
- Beckers, a former subsidiary of Volvo, came into the family's hands in 1985, when Ulf bought the company from his employer.
- In 2013, under Jenny's command, Lind?ngruppen, together with a foundation linked to the Wallenberg family, took H?gan's AB private once again.
- H?gan's AB has a one third market share of the world's powdered metals, a product used in construction of metal parts and to remove contaminants from drinking water.
- Lind?n Urnes earned a B.A. with a major in philosophy from the University of London; she breeds horses in her free time.
