BENEO names Andreas Herber to its board

BENEO GmbH, a Germany-based manufacturer of functional ingredients, announced that Andreas Herber was named a new member of its executive board of directors.

Herber will oversee the areas of production and operations, new business development, nutrition science, regulatory affairs and food application (BENEO-Institute and BENEO-Technology Center). He will also be responsible for corporate communications, human resources and IT. Herber takes up his position on the board of directors following the departure of Matthias Moser, who left the company earlier this year to take on new challenges, the company said.

Herber joined the Südzucker Group (BENEO’s parent company) in 1998. In his former position, he was head of Südzucker’s corporate development department and responsible for strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions, as well as the management of non-core investments, BENEO said.

“I am very pleased to be welcomed onto the BENEO board of directors, as I have been watching with great interest BENEO’s development as a company over the years,” Herber said. “It is also exciting to be involved in a mission as strong and forward-thinking as ‘connecting nutrition and health.’ 

“I am convinced that BENEO will continue its sustainable long-term growth because it has the strong foundation of having scientifically proven benefits combined with expert knowledge that makes a significant difference to the market,” he added.
