Even after the weekend, the situation around the resignation of Saab CEO Jonsson still did not want to calm down. Some in Sweden see the situation quite relaxed, others want to know more about the background.

Even companies working with Saab react differently, but the situation usually remains without the drama of the previous Friday.

Chris Wrange, head of section Trollhättan at the logistics giant DHL, sees the situation relaxed and does not worry. DHL supplies components just in time, to our knowledge tires and rims in the assembly.

Towards Dagens Industri, Chris Wrange said: "So much has been fundamentally rebuilt and changed at Saab in the past few months, maybe it is normal and must be so that a change happens at the top."

Also the new Saab partner ZF, supplier for components of the 9-3 successor, who projected his assembly plant near the factory, does not show any concern.

Only Svenåke Berglie, President of the Association of Vehicle Component Builders (?), Made annoyance to Dagens Nyheter. He sees great anger in the signals from Trollhättan approaching him and his association and wants clarification about the situation.

He will probably have to wait. On 19.Mai is the Spyker Cars NV General Assembly and presumably and most likely there will be a new Saab CEO and President or candidates will be presented. Jan Ake Jonsson will be available to Saab until September.

Also, the looming entry of additional investors will be foreseeable or clarified by then. Let's stay cool and wait. Keep on Saabing!
