New CEO appointed

In addition, he will assume the responsibility of the COO position. Jens Kristensen’s most recent job was CEO of Jupiter Bach, a global supplier to the wind turbine industry. Prior to that he has held senior operating positions with GN Resound, a leader within the field of hearing aids.

In order to manage the increased complexity and professionalize the expanding operations, it has been decided to strengthen the Frontmatec leadership team with a person who has a strong operations background and who has successfully managed businesses globally.

Arne Vraalsen, Chairman of Frontmatec comments: “The solution of appointing a CEO with strong operations skills has been proposed by previous CEO, Henrik Andersen himself. Henrik will continue in his role as CCO (Chief Commercial Officer), where he has done a fantastic job in terms of creating growth, building markets and securing technology. I am very thankful that Henrik will now put all his energy behind developing an even stronger customer offering and accelerating growth further in our existing and new markets. I believe that both our customers and Frontmatec will benefit greatly from this.”

Frontmatec is a market leader worldwide in red meat processing systems with superior technology, good technical solutions, focus on customers and dedicated employees. Frontmatec has grown significantly the last years, both organically and through the acquisition of more than nine companies. Annual sales today are in excess of €240 mill. with more than 1200 employees.
