cash-in-transit market. The appointment comes at a time when SQS is
experiencing a high level of activity, with excellent prospects for
the next few quarters."It's fantastic to have Erik Svedmark on board as the new head of
SQS. We're convinced that with his broad and solid experience, he
will add considerable value both commercially and technically,
together with the business's other employees," says Jørgen Waaler,
Group CEO of both PSI Group ASA and CashGuard AB, awaiting the formal
implementation of the merger.

Erik Svedmark lives in Skellefteå, the site of SQS' administrative
headquarters and production operations. He is 50 years of age and

was General Manager. He comes to us most recently from Leab (Lövånger
Elektronik AB), where he has been Managing Director and Group CEO for
the past six years."I'm really looking forward to starting at SQS, which I think is not
only one of the most interesting businesses in Skellefteå, but in the
whole of Sweden. Together with PSI Group and CashGuard, SQS continues
to have huge potential in Europe and internationally, and I'm
convinced that we'll be extremely successful in the future, both as
an individual company and within the whole group," says Erik
Svedmark.
