Emmi adds supply chain officer

Kai Könecke will become chief supply chain officer of the Swiss Emmi Group as of 1 April 2017. The German is an international expert in supply chain management and is currently working for Unilever Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The 50-year-old Könecke studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany. He developed his experience in the food business Mars, the online retailer Amazon and Unilever. He will move to Switzerland after an introductory period at Emmi.

Emmi decided a few months ago to expand the group management with a chief supply chain officer. The reasons for this are the strengthening of competences within the framework of succession planning and the additional potential that can be created by the more efficient design of the production and logistics processes in the Swiss and international production companies.
