Duni Group Announces Management Changes

Duni Group, the prominent provider of innovative packaging solutions, has officially announced a pivotal change in its management structure. Nicklas Lauwell, who has been with the company for nine years and served as Chief Officer for the Food Packaging Solutions area, will be leaving the role to become the Club Director for the Swedish football team, IFK Göteborg.

The announcement was made on March 20, 2026, bringing both sadness and appreciation from Duni Group's leadership. Robert Dackeskog, the President and CEO of Duni Group, expressed his sentiments regarding Lauwell’s contributions to the company during his tenure. Dackeskog highlighted Lauwell's significant role in advancing the Food Packaging Solutions segment, developing the capabilities of the team, and bolstering the company’s competitive position within the market.

"We are sad to see Nicklas leave after nine incredible years with Duni Group. His insights and leadership have been instrumental in the successes of our Duniform and Takeaway businesses. I genuinely wish him every success in his future endeavors," Dackeskog remarked.

Lauwell has been a valuable member of the Group Management Team since 2021 and played a vital role in steering Duni Group towards its current status as a leader in the field of sustainable packaging solutions. His departure marks the end of an era for the team as well as the beginning of a new chapter for his career in sports management.

In preparation for Lauwell's exit, the process to appoint his successor has already begun, signaling Duni Group's commitment to seamless leadership transition and the future growth of its Food Packaging Solutions business. Lauwell’s last working day at Duni Group is set to be no later than June 30, 2026.

In light of these significant changes, the company remains focused on continuing its mission to provide intelligent packaging solutions for the food service sector while maintaining strong environmental principles. As sustainability becomes an increasingly pressing global issue, Duni Group aims to uphold transparency and integrity in its operations, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of innovative packaging.

With Lauwell moving into a role outside of the corporate sphere, many in the industry look forward to what this shift will mean for both Duni Group and IFK Göteborg. Lauwell’s extensive experience with Duni Group is expected to influence his leadership in sports—just as his new role is anticipated to bring fresh perspectives to the organization.
