Katrin Fricke has been named EVP and head of Tomra Recycling, succeeding Volker Rehrmann, who has retired after two decades with the business.
Fricke has a background in production engineering and has held leadership positions across different industries, with expertise in operations management, corporate strategy and digitization. Most recently, she served as EVP and managing director of the electronics division (Katek brand) of the Kontron Group, a leader in the industrial Internet of Things (IoT) sector and embedded computing technology.
She will be based close to Tomra Recycling’s headquarters in Mülheim-Kärlich, Germany.
Tove Andersen, president and CEO of Tomra, said of the outgoing Rehrmann, “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.”
