Following the resignation of Normunds Stanevics from his position as CEO of Food Union, the international ice cream and dairy production and distribution group, the Board of Directors has approved the appointment of Arturs Cirjevskis, the former CFO of Food Union Group in Europe, to the position of CEO.
Cirjevskis has more than 10 years of experience in general management and operational finance in producing FMCG companies in Latvia. He has been with the Food Union Group since 2015 when the company acquired its third asset in Latvia, Rīgas Piensaimnieks Ltd, the owner of Latvian legacy mega brands Kārums, Dzintars and Mājas. Arturs Cirjevskis was then the CEO and Member of the Board at Rīgas Piensaimnieks, Ltd.
After the merger process, Cirjevskis became the CFO of Food Union Group in Europe, and until now has been responsible for financial controlling, planning and treasury.
Food Union’s commercial strategy and business development in Denmark, Norway and Romania will be guided and supported by Aivar Aus, CEO of Premia TKH, the Estonian flagship ice cream producer and No.1 ice cream brand in Estonia. Aivars’ almost 30 years of professional experience in the production and trade of ice cream brands, as well as the Premia’s constant growth over the past few years serve as a foundation for him to implement the next stage of the Group’s evolution together with seasoned team from Food Union Latvia branch.
