Larsen said he would focus on growing sales and strengthening profitability in environmental protection, soil remediation, and restoration. Grön, who will continue in Lamor’s group leadership, said he is “excited about the opportunity to focus full time on leading Lamor Recycling,” as preparations for the Kilpilahti plant advance. The plant is Finland's first industrial-scale plant for the production of circular oil from recycled plastic.

A citizen of Finland and Denmark, Larsen previously served as CEO from 2010 to 2019 and has held multiple long-standing board roles within the group and family investment companies. He used to be the vice chair of the Lamor board but will be replaced by another member: Petter Larsen, CEO of the Larsen Family Corporation Oy.
