EVP and Head of TOMRA Recycling Dr. Volker Rehrmann has decided to retire,
effective 31 May 2025, after a remarkable career pioneering optical systems for
waste sorting within the recycling industry. Volker has been a pivotal figure
for the industry and in the company since TOMRA acquired TiTech in 2004, a
leading recycling technology company he was part of founding.
"Volker will be greatly missed in the organization. His depth of knowledge and
vision has helped TOMRA stay at the forefront of innovation within recycling
technology over the past two decades, and we are profoundly grateful for his
contribution to the company. Now, we wish him all the best in his retirement,"
says Tove Andersen, President and CEO of TOMRA.
TOMRA is pleased to announce that Katrin Fricke will replace Volker as the new
EVP and Head of TOMRA Recycling. Katrin comes from the role as Managing Director
of the German electronics company Katek, and has held several executive
positions within corporate strategy, operations, and digitalization. She has an
educational background in production engineering. Katrin will work closely with
Volker before taking over on 1 June 2025.
"Katrin brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of delivering
outstanding results. She is performance-driven and has a passion for technology
and people. Her values align closely with the TOMRA culture, and we are
confident that she will be a great champion in realizing our vision of leading
the resource revolution. We look forward to the continued growth and success of
TOMRA Recycling under Katrin's leadership," says Andersen.
