Melker Schörling passed away peacefully this weekend at his home, surrounded by his closest family: his wife Kerstin and daughters Sofia and Märta. Words cannot adequately convey our sense of loss and grief. We remember Melker as a fantastic friend and fellow human being with a genuine interest in people and building businesses. He always had time for everyone around him and was happy to let other people take the spotlight. Melker drew energy from outings in nature and hunting, two passions he carried with him from childhood. Melker’s wisdom, values and big heart will live on through the people he had around him, as well as the corporate cultures he helped to build. The group of companies created by Melker continues to be run in Melker’s spirit by his daughters Sofia and Märta, together with a large network of successful business leaders. Mikael Ekdahl, Chairman of the Board, Melker Schörling AB
