[7][2] From 1968 to 1971, Segrell was head of the Swedish Quartermaster Matériel Department (Intendenturmaterielförvaltningen) in the Defence Materiel Administration, after which he transferred to the reserve in 1971 as vice admiral.

Even before the guidelines for a reorganization of the Swedish Armed Forces' Defence Materiel Administration (Försvarets intendenturmaterielverk) were drawn up, he pleaded as director in the Royal Swedish Naval Materiel Administration for the establishment of a common storage room organization for the service branches.

Segrell was, often under strong opposition from various quarters, the driving force in the reorganization and downsizing of the Quartermaster Administration of the Swedish Armed Forces and its incorporation into the Defence Materiel Administration.”[3] In 1932, Segrell married Gertrud Lönner (1905–1996), the daughter of Arthur Lönner and Nanna Svensson.
