CM Biomass, a leading provider of physical wood pellets and other biomass products, has appointed Simon Plagborg as its new CEO, effective January 6, 2025. Plagborg succeeds Ask Michael Munck, who had served as interim CEO since December and will return to his role as Group CFO.
Christian Junker, Chairman of the Board of Directors, expressed confidence in Plagborg’s appointment, stating, “We were looking for a profile that had the right commercial and leadership qualifications, but also thrives in a growing international family-owned business. Simon Plagborg fits the bill, and we are, of course, delighted to welcome him to the CM Biomass team.”
Plagborg brings over 15 years of executive management experience, with a background in sales and commercial roles across multiple industries. He previously served as a member of the executive team and Chief Commercial Officer at Skamol Group.
“I’m excited to join CM Biomass and look forward to leveraging my experience in sales and strategy to guide the company towards sustained growth,” said Plagborg. “With our strong team, I’m confident we can advance CM Biomass’ position in the sustainable energy sector.”
Nina Østergaard Borris, board member and co-owner of USTC, added, “Simon’s appointment completes the management team, positioning CM Biomass for continued development and growth. His deep commercial insight and understanding of the complexities in global commodity markets make him the ideal leader to navigate the challenges ahead.”
