Francis Kint, CEO of Vion: “I am proud to have led Vion for three years. We have strengthened the organization, significantly upgraded our production footprint and made valuable commercial inroads. We also engaged in a societal dialogue on the meat industry and took leadership on certain themes such as the needed transparency. The company is now in good shape and the three divisions are led by a team of very experienced managers. I have been offered the opportunity to lead a listed company in my home country and decided to take up this challenge.”
Sipko Schat, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said: “Francis was instrumental in transforming Vion over the last three years with a clear focus not only on further optimizing our footprint but also with selective acquisitions and greenfield operations. He also drove our sustainability agenda with a strong emphasis on transparency. While we regret Francis’ departure and will certainly miss him, we respect his decision and wish him well for the future.”
Vion will announce the successor of Francis Kint in due time.
