Fingerprint Cards (FPC) is strengthening its Supply Chain Management and has
hired Magnus Hansson as Senior Sourcing Director.
As a result of FPC’s recent successes and expansion, a need has arisen to
strengthen the company’s purchasing function and production handling. Magnus

as further developing processes to ensure cost-efficient and secure supply of
the company’s components and products.

and ST-Ericsson in Lund, where he held such posts as Vice President, Sourcing &
Supply, Head of Purchasing and Technology Licensing, and most recently SVP 3G
and LTE Modem Solutions. Prior to this, Magnus worked primarily with product
development and product management.

the team in our current expansion phase. I am convinced that his extensive
experience, knowledge and network make him the right person to drive forward the
development of Supply Chain Management and our purchasing function. I believe
