Duni Appoints Robert Dackeskog as New President and CEO from Feb 1, 2021

Robert Dackeskog, currently CEO for the dental wholesaler Unident AB, has been appointed new president and CEO for Duni Group. He assumes his position latest February 1st, 2021.

Robert has a long experience of different types of FMCG products for professionals as well as end customers, both nationally and internationally. Between 2012 and 2019 Robert was a member of the Duni Group management team as Business Area Director for Consumer and later Table Top. He left the Group in January 2019 and later started the assignment he has now.

Before his time at Duni Group, Robert held senior positions within the Findus Group. “Robert’s long and solid experience of the business as well as previous assignments in combination with his proven leadership abilities fits well with the future needs of the Group. We are looking forward to developing the Group together with Robert the coming years,” says Thomas Gustafsson, chairman of the board.

Until Robert takes the position as new president and CEO, Mats Lindroth, deputy CEO and CFO, will continue as acting CEO. This came after the Duni Group’s board of directors reached an agreement with president and CEO, Johan Sundelin, to leave his assignment with immediate effect.

Sundelin assumed the position as President and CEO for Duni in 2017. During his time as CEO he has contributed to the strategic platform of the company, including the acquisitions of BioPak and an increased focus in sustainable packaging. At the same time, the leadership has not fulfilled the set expectations by which the board made the assessment that a change of president and CEO was necessary.

Duni Group is a market leader in attractive, sustainable and convenient products for table setting and take-away. The Group markets and sells two brands, Duni and BioPak, which are represented in more than 40 markets. Duni has some 2,400 employees in 24 countries, headquarters in Malmö and production units in Sweden, Germany, Poland, New Zealand and Thailand.
