New director for Danish Crown Owner Service

Danish Crown's management and Nicolaj Nørgaard have agreed that it is time for a new profile to be responsible for the further development of Danish Crown Owner Service. Therefore, Nicolaj Nørgaard will step down as director of the area when he has handed over his tasks to Søren Tinggaard.

"We are building the future structure for Danish Crown, and this is something we have many conversations about - also in the owner service area. And here Nicolaj and I have jointly reached the conclusion that a different profile is needed for the next phase of our work with the owners. I would like to thank Nicolaj for his dedicated efforts. His great professional skills have moved Danish Crown on many fronts", says Group CEO, Niels Duedahl.

About his time at Danish Crown, Nicolaj Nørgaard says:

"It has been seven exciting years, where the team at Ejerservice has developed, implemented and delivered strong advice and service to our owners. Among other things, there has been a focus on value chain optimization through advice, Danish Crown Data, the Cooperative Idea 2.0, piglet share ownership, cost-effective sustainability initiatives, etc. There have been ups and downs with quotations and the number of pigs, and I will miss the daily chat with both the owners, colleagues at Danish Crown and not least the team at Ejerservice".

The new CEO of Danish Crown Ejerservice will be Søren Tinggaard. He comes from a position as CEO of Danish Crown's organic company, Friland, and has held a number of key roles in the group for more than 30 years, both in Denmark and abroad.

"We are really pleased that in Søren Tinggaard we have found a capable successor internally. Across the entire group, we have reached the phase in our transformation where we are building the right structure for the future. Owner service is a crucial function for us in the competition for raw materials, and Søren has an important task ahead of him in developing this area", says Group CEO Niels Duedahl. 

"I think the interaction between the unit owners, the company and the daily business is really interesting to work with. The job at Friland has brought me into close contact with the owners. Now I'm coming back to the part of the business where my career at Danish Crown began and an area that both has extra focus and is incredibly important for the group right now, so I see it as a very exciting challenge", says Søren Tinggaard.

A process is now underway to find a new director for Friland. Until a replacement is found, Søren Tinggaard will take over the task.
