Global leader in sensor-based sorting solutions, TOMRA Recycling, has announced the appointment of Lars Enge as its new Executive Vice President (EVP).
Lars joined TOMRA in March 2022 as EVP of Group Strategy. Over the past three years, he has played a pivotal role in the company’s leadership team and has successfully established TOMRA Horizon – a portfolio of new ventures, including TOMRA Feedstock and Reuse – in addition to managing the acquisition of c-trace GmbH.
Tove Andersen, CEO of TOMRA, comments: “Since joining TOMRA, Lars has gained an in-depth understanding of the global recycling market and demonstrated strong leadership. He also has a unique ability to nurture collaboration across disciplines to ensure stability. These qualities, coupled with his strategic mindset, passion and performance-driven approach make Lars an excellent leader to drive TOMRA Recycling’s growth journey.”
“TOMRA’s recycling division has undergone an incredible journey since the acquisition of Titech in 2004, and the underlying drivers to increase recycling rates across the globe continue to represent substantial growth potential for the sorting arm of our business. I look forward to transforming that potential into even greater success in the future, for TOMRA and our customers,” adds Lars Enge, newly appointed EVP of TOMRA Recycling.
Prior to joining TOMRA, Lars held various senior roles at Yara International within M&A, Finance and Strategy (2014-2022), serving as CFO for Yara Europe from 2018 to 2022. Lars also has experience from McKinsey & Company (2009-2014) and holds a Master of Science degree in Industrial Economics and Technology Management from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU.
Lars will step into the role with immediate effect. Katrin Fricke, the outgoing EVP of TOMRA Recycling, will pursue new opportunities outside of TOMRA.
