Scandi Standard is recruiting Fredrik Strømmen as its Country Manager for the
Norwegian operations. Most recently, Fredrik was at Orkla, where he was
previously the CEO of the group's biscuits operations in Norway.
Fredrik has almost 20 years' experience of various senior posts in the
convenience goods trade. He was also sales manager at Sætre AS and KiMs Norge
AS. In the last year at Orkla, Fredrik was responsible for the integration
between the Sætre AS, Nidar AS and KiMs Norge AS operations with Orkla
Confectionery & Snacks Norge. In addition, he was responsible for the merging of
the sales operations for the former Stabburet AS and Rieber & Søn Norge AS into
Orkla Foods Norge.

“Fredrik is an experienced manager with the right qualifications for
strengthening our position in the Norwegian market. His task is managing the
white meat and egg business to increase growth and profitability. We are very
happy to be bringing Fredrik on board and I am sure that he will, together with
Scandi Standard's team, create additional value in the category in close
cooperation with our customers,” says Leif Bergvall Hansen, Group CEO at Scandi
Standard.

“I look forward to further developing the business together with our employees.
Chicken and egg are categories of strong growth and I see many opportunities for
further developing this in cooperation with our customers,” says Fredrik
Strømmen, the incoming Country Manager for Scandi Standard Norway.

So Torfinn Higdem, the present manager for Norway, is handing over
responsibility to Fredrik.

“I am happy to be handing things over to Fredrik. I have had a fantastic journey
and I am very proud of the good work the Norwegian operation has done to get
where we are today,” says Torfinn Higdem, the departing Country Manager for
Scandi Standard Norway.

”There is no doubt that Torfinn has done a fantastic job in building up the
company and creating strong and well-known brands. Torfinn has decided himself
to step down and I am very happy that he will still be available for some
projects,” says Leif Bergvall Hansen.

Fredrik will take up the position on 2 March 2015. The Norwegian operation
produces, markets and sells chicken and egg under the Den Stolte Hane and
Vestfold Fugl brands. It has three production facilities and 285 employees.
