KARLSTAD, Sweden – The Swedish-based coffee group Löfbergs has appointed Anders Fredriksson as new CEO. Anders has 20 years’ experience of management positions and is currently CEO of Norrmejerier, a Swedish diary company with a variety of national and international brands. “We are very happy to welcome Anders to us. He has just the right competence and profile to develop Löfbergs in line with our new strategy. He has sound experience of the food industry and international business as well as a clear style of leadership with focus on building strong teams, which has contributed to his success in carrying out process of change,” says Kathrine Löfberg, chair of the board at Löfbergs.
