"I am very happy that Joshua Mehr, who has an extremely good understanding of the industry and FLX in particular, has agreed to take on the role as CEO of FLX. I also want to take the opportunity to thank Pontus Edgren for his fantastic work in building FLX to become one of Scandinavia's most successful production companies. We very much look forward to continuing our great collaboration under Joshua's leadership”, says Iréne Lindblad, CEO of SF Studios and chairman of the board of FLX.

FLX has built its success by producing high quality content that appeal to a broad audience and by combining high level of creativity with strong business focus. Joshua Mehr joined the company in 2015 as Head of Business Affairs, after having a similar role at the production company Another Park Film. Current CEO of FLX, Pontus Edgren, has chosen to leave FLX on his own initiative and he has been in dialogue with FLX's owners for some time to ensure a smooth succession.

“I am really grateful for all the fantastic years with Pontus as CEO of FLX. As a smart strategist with clever humor and a lot of heart, he has made FLX grow into one of Sweden's largest production companies and a very fun workplace. I now look forward with joy to an exciting new time at FLX with Joshua Mehr at the helm where his wise, creative and multi-faceted ideas can continue to drive FLX's success", says Felix Herngren, founder, partner and creative director for FLX.

“With clear and strong leadership, FLX has gathered some of the industry's best and created a fantastic platform for creators. I want to thank Pontus for nine fantastic years together. It feels very exciting to now continue building the company together with Felix and all employees as we enter a new phase. FLX has always had a huge breadth and is well positioned in a changing market”, says Joshua Mehr.
