Biomega, an international biotechnology company that develops salmon peptides and proteins for pet food, has appointed Chris Fredrik Simmenes as its new factory manager for the company’s flagship biorefinery in Skaganeset, Norway.
Simmenes joins Biomega after working at Mesterbakeren – one of Norway’s leading bakery chains – for more than a decade.
Stig Petersen, CEO at Biomega, said: “It’s with great pleasure that we welcome Chris to our team. Responsible for the day-to-day operations of our Skaganeset biorefinery, his wealth of experience in dealing with regulatory requirements from Mesterbakeren will swiftly become an asset to us as we focus on improving our circular approach to upcycling salmon rest streams.
“With a background in teaching and experience in logistics management, Chris is a superb mentor and is already becoming a vital part of our team here in Norway.”
Simmenes added: “I am truly grateful and humble to be welcomed by such a highly competent team at Biomega. The company is continuously working towards its sustainable goals as a responsible manufacturer, therefore the decisions we make must be for the future of our planet, and I look forward to taking our operations to the next level.”
