On 11 September, Jūlija Zandersone joined the management team of PET Baltija, the largest and fastest growing environmental resource management and recycling group in the Baltics, and will now be the Chairman of the Management Board and Head of the Recycling Sector of the Eco Baltia Group.
Māris Simanovičs, Chairman of the Management Board of Eco Baltia: "Over the past year and a half, PET Baltija has experienced both challenges and significant development. Even though the recycling sector faces not particularly benevolent conditions in global markets, the company continues to grow, expanding and strengthening its position in the Baltics and Northern Europe. Last year, PET Baltija achieved its best turnover ever, and has started Work on the construction of a new production facility in Olaine, Latvia. As the Eco Baltia Group continues to develop, investments will continue to be made in improving PET Baltija's operations. However, it also requires a broader vision of the overall development of the industry, and we believe that the addition of professional management to the Board is an opportunity to plan PET Baltija's growth with even greater capacity."
Julia Zanderson's role in the company will be to implement the objectives set by the shareholders, which include accelerating PET Baltija's development into a regional market leader together with its subsidiary Tesil Fibers. Julia Zanderson has extensive experience in strategic business development management, business planning and customer relationship management. She spent more than ten years in senior positions at design and construction company Citrus Solutions, including five years as Chairman of the Board. Zandersone holds a Master's degree in Economics from the Riga Technical University and last year graduated from the London Business School's Senior Executive Programme.
The changes in the Management Board of PET Baltija are aimed at accelerating the company's development and investment projects. Therefore, already on 17 July, Kaspars Ezernieks joined the existing Management Board as a member of the Management Board and Executive Director, while Salvis Lapiņš, the previous Chairman of the Management Board of PET Baltija, performed his duties until 21 July this year.
