Managing director leaves Kraft Foods

Austrian Peter M?ller, who has been at the helm of Kraft Foods, the biggest company on the chocolate market, for around three years, has returned to the company’s Vienna subsidiary, as manager of the development department. Kraft Foods Romania has yet to announce the name of the new managing director, who will also be an expat. Before coming to Romania, M?ller was general manager of Kraft on the former Yugoslavian and Albanian markets, while previously, he was manager of the Foodservice division (on-premise products) at the Austrian subsidiary. As an employee of the international division of Kraft Foods, he was also involved in the acquisition of confectionery producer Poiana Produse Zaharoase in Brasov, in 1994. Kraft’s only plant in Romania is located in Brasov. From 2005 until the present, Kraft Foods Romania’s turnover has seen around 20% annual growth rates, amid a development of the chocolate and coffee markets, the main markets where the company operates.
