There was a change at management level at packaging specialist Coveris at the start of the year. Jakob A. Mosser, who has headed the company since 2018, is passing the baton to the previous COO Christian Kolarik. Mosser will remain associated with the company as Executive Chairman.<\/strong><\/p>

Coveris completed its strategic realignment in 2022, one year earlier than planned. Following the sale of the Rigid and Americas divisions in 2018, Jakob A. Mosser has turned the company into a European market leader in the flexible paper and plastics industry.<\/strong> Under his leadership, Coveris has developed into a company with a forward-looking strategy and a stringent sustainability vision.<\/p>

With a view to the future and the requirements that the next strategic phase demands, the Coveris owners have decided to, Jakob A. Mosser to be appointed Executive Chairman<\/strong> and Christian Kolarik appointed as new CEO<\/strong>.<\/p>

Since joining Coveris in 2018, he has made a significant contribution to the company's successful transformation.<\/strong> He is the ideal person to lead Coveris, continue our international expansion and, above all, drive forward our sustainability strategy,\u201c says Mosser. \u201eI look forward to working closely with him and the team in my new role as well<\/strong>.\"<\/p>
