MALMO, Sweden,
Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
- The two brand segments are to form two Business Areas - Duni
and BioPak - with responsibility for the whole value
chain.
-
- Linus Lemark, currently EVP
Commercial, will take over as EVP Business Area Duni.
- Mats Lindroth, currently EVP
Finance & CFO, will take over as EVP Business Area
BioPak.
- Magnus Carlsson, currently
EVP Corporate Development, will take over as new EVP Finance &
CFO.
- The current management functions in the areas of Operations,
Marketing and Corporate Development will disappear, with
responsibility being taken over by the respective new
functions.
- Current Commercial regions will continue to be responsible
for regional sales, reporting directly to the incoming President
and CEO.
- The new organization is expected to come into force on
January 1, 2021, when incoming
President and CEO Robert Dackeskog
takes up his position.
- These changes involve a one-off cost in Q4 of less than
SEK 10 m and an annual saving of the
corresponding amount.
In January 2020, a new
organizational structure and financial segment reporting were
presented, as an element of strengthening Duni Group's strategy
with a focus on creating the most attractive customer experience.
Duni Group is now taking another step and strengthening the
organization by moving from two brand segments to form two Business
Areas: Duni and BioPak.
Magnus Carlsson new EVP
Finance & CFO
Current EVP Finance & CFO Mats
Lindroth will be taking over as EVP Business Area BioPak,
while Magnus Carlsson, currently
responsible for Corporate Development, will be the new EVP
Finance & CFO. The Corporate Development
department will cease to be a management function. The roles that
currently fall under Corporate Development will continue to a large
extent to report to Magnus Carlsson
in his new function.
Two Business Areas - Duni and BioPak
Business Area Duni will be led by Linus
Lemark, currently EVP Commercial, and will focus on
the offering for table decorations and surrounding guest
environment. Business Area BioPak will be led by Mats Lindroth and will focus on sustainable
packaging solutions. The Business Areas will have a clear
responsibility for the whole value chain. Operations will no longer
be a separate management function, with responsibility instead
falling within each Business Area. IT, which was previously part of
Operations, will move to the Strategic Development
department, which already has responsibility for digital
development. The formation of two distinctive Business Areas means
that the Group will no longer have a central marketing department,
and Clas Thott, former EVP
Marketing, has therefore left this role and the company.
One Commercial organization
The reorganization at the beginning of the year created a
homogeneous Commercial organization, distributed over five regions.
Each region is responsible for local sales and marketing of both
brands, Duni and BioPak, to all customers. Regional Commercial
Directors will report directly to incoming President and CEO
Robert Dackeskog but will not be
part of the management team. The same applies for the Logistics
department. The Rest of World (RoW) region currently has a clear
division between the Business Areas, so the role of Commercial
Director RoW will change and responsibility for sales within
the region will fall under each Business Area.
As of January 1, 2021, Duni
Group's management team and areas of responsibility will be
organized as follows:
Costs and reporting
These changes involve a one-off cost in Q4 2020 of less than
SEK 10 m and an annual saving of the
corresponding amount. The annual saving creates scope for
reinvestment in important areas such as sustainability and
digitalization.
The current financial segment reporting remains unchanged.
