Joins in November
In July, it became clear that Kjetil Bøhn resigned as CEO in the company after sitting in the CEO chair for seven years. The plastic recycling company writes that a unanimous board appointed Rosenløv as the new top manager.
When Bøhn resigned, Quantafuel sent out a message that the company was entering a new phase, and that it opened up for a more industrial leader.
Kjetil Bøhn himself said that he had been in dialogue about resigning for half a year.
“I have always been open to the fact that the entrepreneur at one time or another should consider his suitability as head of a larger, industrial company,” he said. when he got off.
In the meantime, Terje Eiken, Chief Operating Officer, has been acting CEO. Rosenløv will take over as the new top manager from 1 November this year.
– I am really impressed with what this fantastic team of competent and committed people has achieved in a very short time. The purpose of Quantafuel, to create a circular economy for plastics, is crucial, he says in a press release.
