CM Biomass Appoints Simon Plagborg CEO
CM Biomass, one of the world’s largest suppliers of wood pellets and biomass with operations across North American and Europe, has appointed Simon Plagborg as its new CEO, effective January 6. Plagborg replaces interim CEO, Ask Michael Munck, who’s been in the role since December. With Plagborg’s appointment Munck will resume his position as Group CFO.
“We were looking for a profile that had the right commercial and leadership qualifications, but also thrives in a growing international family-owned business. Simon Plagborg fits the bill, and we are, of course, delighted to welcome him to the CM Biomass team,” says Christian Junker, Chairman of the Board of Directors, CM Biomass.
Plagborg joins CM Biomass with more than 15 years of experience in executive management and a background in sales and commercial roles from various companies—most recently he was member of the executive team and CCO at Skamol Group, global supplier of insulation systems for a wide range of applications within building and industry.
“With the addition of Simon Plagborg, we have managed to complete the management team so that CM Biomass can continue the further development and growth of the company. In Simon we have found a leader with a strong commercial mindset who understands the complexity of running a commodity business in the global marketplace while handling all its volatility and challenging value chains,” adds Nina Østergaard Borris, CM Biomass board member and co-owner of United Shipping & Trading Co. (USTC) a Danish logistics and technology company represented in 38 countries.
