Elektroniktidningen (“The Electronics Magazine”) recently announced that long-standing team members Jan Tångring and Per Henricsson will retire after this summer, with Veijo Ojanperä set to take over responsibility for the Swedish website from August.
Ojanperä is already well known across Finland’s electronics industry, having run a Finnish electronics website for several years as well as organising an embedded conference. He is also editor of the Finnish version of ETN, which was originally formed through a joint venture with Elektroniktidningen. He speaks Swedish, which supports continuity for Elektroniktidningen’s Swedish audience and commercial partners.
The announcement from Elektroniktidningen shared that two printed issues will be published in the autumn, while the website and newsletter will carry on as usual. Advertisers and partners are encouraged to continue sending material and press releases to the existing editorial and advertising contacts.
In the near term, Tångring and Henricsson will still be involved behind the scenes to support Ojanperä when needed to ensure consistency and continuation of reporting on engineering, new technology, semiconductors, components, and electronics business news across Sweden and the Nordic region.
To quote Jan and Per directly, here is the elegant way in which they handed over their respective sceptres:
We’re Rejuvenating Elektroniktidningen! After more years than we care to admit, Jan and Per will retire after the summer – and Veijo will take over.
If you are active in Finland, you probably already know him. He has been running the Finnish website for many years, publishing a digital magazine and organizing an embedded conference. And yes, he speaks Swedish.
From August, he will also be responsible for the Swedish website and will publish two printed issues of Elektroniktidningen magazine.
For you as an advertiser or partner, nothing will change in practice. The website and newsletter will continue as usual, and you can keep sending material and press releases to the same addresses as before, ads@etn.se and red@etn.se. Invoices will continue to come from Elektroniktidningen.
Jan and Per will remain involved behind the scenes and support Veijo whenever needed.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the great collaborations, interesting meetings and valuable contacts over the years. It has been a privilege to follow the development of the electronics industry together with you.
We will miss all the people we have had the pleasure of working with and staying in touch with over the years, while feeling confident that Elektroniktidningen is in good hands for the future.
Thank you for your support, and we wish you all the very best for the years ahead.
Jan Tångring
Per Henricsson
All of us at Napier wish Jan and Per the very best in retirement, and Veijo every success as he takes on Elektroniktidningen!
