The group, which yesterday announced it will start a review on whether to exit all its North American businesses, said the company’s board of directors had backed Koffrie as leader at its AGM.
Koffrie took the reins at Wessanen after Ad Veenhof stepped down as CEO after differences over the company’s furture direction.
At the AGM, Wessanen’s board also approved the reappointment of Durk Jager as chairman.
Wessanen’s review of its North American businesses comes as it plans to focus on natural, organic and speciality food products in Europe.
