  • Press Release 13 November 2017
    Press release 13 November 2017 Management changes in Cloetta Following the acquisition of Candyking, Cloetta’s Scandinavian operations have become significantly larger. The role as President Cloetta Scandinavia will therefore be divided into two roles, President Cloetta Sweden and President Cloetta Denmark & Norway. Christian Boas Linde has been appointed President Cloetta Denmark & Norway. He will report to Henri de Sauvage-Nolting, CEO, and be part of Group Management. He will assume his new role 1 January, 2018. Christian Boas Linde has been working at Cloetta since 2013 and is currently General Manager Cloetta Denmark & Norway. He has previously, among others, been working at Mars, PepsiCo, Heinz and Arla. Christian Boas Linde was born in 1968 and holds a Master’s Degree in Economics from Aarhus University. Lars Påhlson, currently President Cloetta Scandinavia, will implement the split of the business responsibilities between Sweden and Denmark & Norway. He has also after nine years in the position decided to retire during 2018. Until then he will continue as President Cloetta Sweden. A recruitment process to find a new President for Cloetta Sweden has been initiated. “The acquisition of Candyking makes our Scandinavian operations significantly larger, especially Denmark and Norway will grow in importance for Cloetta. Therefore, there is a need to split the role of President Cloetta Scandinavia. I am happy that Christian Boas Linde with his broad background from our industry and Cloetta, has accepted his new role”, says Henri de Sauvage-Nolting, President and CEO of Cloetta. “Already after the acquisition of Candyking this spring, Lars Påhlson indicated that he wanted to leave Cloetta when the new integrated Swedish organization had been implemented.

Snack food is one kind of those products in which impulse purchases occupy a particular significance in general and confectionery and nut snacks in particular. A lot of studies have been undertaken to exploring variables which affect consumers’ behavior in other industries. Yet still, a gap is unfilled in exploring consumers’ behavior towards confectionery snacks and nuts in convenience store settings. This study, therefore aims to fill this gap by exploring the role of three of those store associate (marketing) factors — store location; snack display; and customer service that affect the impulse buying of consumers in comparative case study companies (R-Kiosk’s and K- Market’s) retail contexts, Turku Finland. For the purpose of achieving this goal, this study focuses on how customer perceive these two convenience stores and which one they prefer over other to shop at.
