Ulf Andersson

Ulf Andersson is a Swedish manufacturing executive associated with iPlast, a plastic injection-molding company based in Skellefteå in northern Sweden. The company was founded in 1989 (originally under the name IndustrIplast) and specializes in injection molding, product development, post-processing, assembly, packaging, warehousing, and logistics. According to a 2017 report, Andersson joined the company roughly a decade earlier and became a part-owner in 2008 during an earlier ownership transition, eventually holding the roles of both CEO (VD) and majority shareholder.

As CEO, Andersson led the company through a period of customer concentration and diversification. A September 2014 article reported that iPlast's largest customer, the American appliance maker Whirlpool, accounted for roughly half of the company's production and had planned to move its European manufacturing. After layoff notices went out to 14 employees, Andersson secured continued supply to Whirlpool in the U.S. and won new business — including a contract to produce one million transparent plastic Easter eggs for confectioner Cloetta using automated robots. He described the outlook optimistically at the time: "We've never had as many projects underway as we do now."

In autumn 2017, Andersson executed a generational handover ("generationsskifte"), stepping down as owner and CEO to become a consultant to the firm. Four employees took majority control of the business: Katarina Jonsson (accounting), Kennet Lundström (quality chief and incoming CEO), Peter Wikman (technical chief), and Adam Bergkvist (production chief), with Ackra Invest retaining a 35% stake. Andersson framed the timing positively: "It feels right to leave a company when it's at its peak." At the handover, iPlast reported revenue of about 60 million kronor for 2015–2016 and employed around 19 people.

As of 2023–2024 company records, iPlast Skellefteå AB's CEO is listed as Kenneth (Johan Kenneth) Lundström, confirming that Andersson is no longer the operating leader of the company.

• Not applicable. No public source describes Ulf Andersson as an angel investor, and no stated investment thesis, check sizes, target-company criteria, or portfolio-selection philosophy could be found.
• His documented business activity is as an owner-operator and executive of an industrial plastics manufacturer, and later as a consultant to that company following the 2017 ownership transition. The 35% co-investor in iPlast was the local investment company Ackra Invest — not Andersson personally.
