Sandvik (OM:SAND), Why Is The Company Drawing Fresh Attention?

Sandvik (OM:SAND) drew fresh investor attention after announcing that Nadine Crauwels, President of the Machining business area, plans to leave following a long tenure. This announcement has triggered a leadership transition in this key unit.
