Duynie replaces the director after two years
Anton van Dam has been appointed as the new CEO of Duynie Group. The company announced this today. Duynie is part of Royal Cosun and focuses on adding value to vegetable by-products and residual products from the food and biofuel sector.
As of March 1, Van Dam will take over from Roel van Haeren, who joined Duynie as director at the end of 2020. With Van Dam, Duynie is attracting a new force from outside the company who has masters degrees from Delft University of Technology and Harvard Business School, among others. Van Haeren had held various positions within the group for years (since 2013) before his appointment as CEO.
The departure of Van Haeren almost coincides with the significant write-down on Duynie's pet food ingredients factory in Cuijk. In 2020, Cosun wrote: "The recently opened Duynie Ingredients production facility in Cuijk will be instrumental in responding to the growing worldwide demand for sustainable vegetable ingredients." Barely two years later, the factory in Cuijk seems to be the child of concern within Duynie. The unit was largely responsible for Cosun's loss-making cooperative result.
