Danish Crown's board of directors has constituted itself
At the end of November, Asger Krogsgaard was elected chairman of Danish Crown when Erik Bredholt chose to retire, and he received the board's support to continue in the post.
"I am honored by the support and approach it with great enthusiasm. It is a big and exciting task, where the most important thing is undoubtedly to restore our company's competitiveness, so that there are enough fattening pigs in Denmark to fill our slaughterhouses. Now we must look forward, and we must have gathered in the board about the tasks that lie ahead of us", says Asger Krogsgaard.
42-year-old Thomas Kjær has been newly elected to the position of deputy chairman. He has been on Danish Crown's board since 2019 and has been part of the A/S board for the past two years.
"The most important thing for me over the next year will be to get the work in the bylaws committee running efficiently and well. As chairman of the committee, I will spend a lot of time getting the articles of association adapted to running a large and modern cooperative. We must have taken the necessary decisions to bring the shareholders closer to the company, regardless of whether you are a supplier of 1,000 or 100,000 pigs per year, and at the same time we must make it attractive to help influence the company's development by sitting on the board of representatives", says Thomas Kjær.
Asger Krogsgaard, as chairman of Danish Crown AmbA, will also become chairman of Danish Crown A/S. As deputy chairman of the AmbA board, Thomas Kjær is a born member of the A/S board together with the chairman of the Danish Crown Beefs Kreaturforum, Karsten Willumsen. In addition, Søren Bonde, Knud Jørgen Lei and Daniel O. Pedersen were elected to the Danish Crown A/S board.
