Fats and oils giant AarhusKarlshamn (AAK) has appointed Terrence ‘Terry’ Thomas as President of AAK USA.

Thomas, a US national who previously held senior positions at Ingredion and National Starch (which is now part of Ingredion), will take up his new role on March 25.

“Terry comes with significant general and senior management, commercial and operational experience in the US and internationally within the food and the food ingredients industries”, said AAK CEO Arne Frank.

“Hal Grant, the departing interim president, has been instrumental in maintaining the positive development we have in the USA and was particularly valuable in the acquisition and integration of Oasis Foods Company during 2012 as well as through the challenges after Hurricane Sandy.

“We would like to thank Hal for all his very valuable contributions and we wish him all the best in all his future endeavors.”
