Chr. Hansen CEO talks strategy, portfolio and M&A

In his first international interview as Chr. Hansen chief executive, Mauricio Graber explained why he feels the company is uniquely positioned to capitalise on global mega trends shaping the food and beverage sectors.

“One of the things that is quite unique about Chr. Hansen and that really attracted me to join and lead the company is the positioning that it has. It is so aligned with the global megatrends of what the food beverage and health and nutrition industries require,” Graber told FoodNavigator.

According to the company, 82% of its products support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Its portfolio is positioned to help deliver a response to issues around food waste, health and nutrition and clean labels.

“When you hear us talk about what makes Chr. Hansen unique, it is really the combination of those things. Our purpose is about precisely that: microbial solutions and natural solutions,” Graber noted.
