"Christian Krichau has during several years very successfully contributed to the development of Arla Plast. The company has under Christian's leadership doubled its revenue and strengthened its position in several attractive product areas and markets. Arla Plast has also established a forward-looking strategic direction and broadened its business.

"It has been several fantastic years at Arla Plast, and the decision to leave the company has not been easy. But I have worked for the Group eleven years and I now feel it is time to move on to new challenges. The company has a solid foundation and is well positioned for the future and I am convinced that Arla Plast will continue its strong development, says Christian Krichau."
Christian Krichau has been President and CEO of Arla Plast since 2021.
