Thomas Ott, 54, has been appointed CEO of the Flexible Packaging and Engineered Materials business units at Mondi.
Born in Vienna, Ott began his career at Mondi in 1995 as a Financial Controller and took on leading positions in various business sectors in the following years. His last job was with the packaging manufacturer Amcor in Switzerland.
As CEO of Mondi Flexible Packaging and Engineered Materials, Ott is responsible for around 4 billion euro in turnover with a team of more than 12,000 employees in 29 countries. He succeeds Peter Orisich, who has recently retired.
According to Ott, developing sustainable, recyclable packaging solutions and effective measures against climate change are currently the primary challenges.
“Mondi’s entire business activity is driven by our commitment to sustainability,” said Ott. “As part of our Mondi Action Plan 2030 (MAP2030), we aim to make all Mondi products reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025. We are also taking action on climate with MAP2030 Climate Action Roadmaps and committed to a science-based greenhouse gas emissions Net-Zero target by 2050.”
