"We are delighted to welcome Katrin as our new EVP and Head of Tomra Recycling and look forward to continued growth and success under her leadership," said Tove Andersen, president and CEO of Tomra Systems ASA, the parent company.
According to the company, Ms Fricke brings extensive leadership experience from a range of industries and has particular expertise in operations management, corporate strategy and digitalisation.
"I was attracted to Tomra's commitment to enabling circular economies worldwide and its robust growth trajectory," said Ms Fricke. She said she looked forward to the opportunity to drive innovation and the company's position as a technology leader in the recycling, sorting and mining markets. "I am keen to contribute to our ambitious growth plans and the development of these fascinating industries," Ms Fricke added.
CEO Andersen also praised the outgoing EVP. "I would like to thank Volker for his outstanding leadership throughout his career. He truly was a pioneer in the development of optical systems for waste sorting applications and a pivotal figure in leading what is now Tomra Recycling with dedication, vision and remarkable insight," she said.
