Chatting with new TOMRA
CEO Tove Andersen
ANDERSEN BECOME HEAD OF
GLOBAL FOOD PROCESSING
EQUIPMENT SUPPLIER IN 2021
IN AUGUST 2021, Tove Andersen became the CEO of
TOMRA, a global supplier of recycling, mining and food
production equipment. With a history with crop production
and nutrient supplier Yara, the TOMRA Food arm of the
operation is near and dear to Andersen's heart. The company
has postharvest, sorting and processing equipment designed
for potatoes.

Could you share a little about your
background?
Growing up I wanted to become a research scientist.
After my studies (Andersen has a master's in mathematics
and physics), I worked as a researcher for three years.
However, I didn't really have the patience of a scientist, so I
(got an) MBA and moved into business. I have spent most of
my professional life at Yara International, a global leader in
crop nutrition. So, the agricultural sector and food industry
are very familiar to me. At Yara, I had many different roles
in different locations, including Sweden, UK, Belgium and
Norway. This has given me broad international experience.

What attracted you to TOMRA?
It's a combination of being a purpose-led company
and a global technology leader. It's always been
important to me to do something meaningful with my
life. TOMRA is well positioned to make a true difference
within resource management and the circular economy.
The way we use resources today is not sustainable. We
need to rethink how we obtain, use and reuse the planet's
precious resources.
