Konsumgüter: Capri-Sun-Eigentümer Hans-Peter Wild steigt mit 85 wieder ins Geschäft ein
Der Milliardär mischt nach der Entlassung des Firmenchefs wieder im operativen Geschäft des Unternehmens aus Baden mit. Der Getränkehersteller steht vor einigen Herausforderungen.
Hans-Peter Wild, the owner of Capri-Sun, has re-entered the company's operations at the age of 85. The beverage entrepreneur celebrated his wedding to long-time partner and attorney Christine Drage on the island of Capri at the end of September. The three-day festivities featured performances by popular violinist David Garrett. However, Wild seems unlikely to take a well-deserved vacation after this event.
Surprisingly, the beverage company announced on Thursday that Wild would return to the operational side of the business, following the dismissal of CEO Roland Weening last week. Capri-Sun did not provide details on the reasons behind Weening's departure. The company stated in a communication that it will continue to be led by the existing management team, including Wild, who will retain his position as chair of the supervisory board.
Previously, Mannheimer Morgen reported on this development. Capri-Sun sells six billion aluminum beverage cups annually in more than 100 countries, generating an annual revenue of 1.4 billion dollars from external sales, sales of own products, and licensing fees. The company collaborates with various licensees such as Kraft Heinz in the United States.
