Hansen comes to Martin from Cheminova, a large global chemical company based in Denmark, where he worked as a product manager dealing with strategic product development and global implementation.
Hansen says: "I'm excited to join a company with as great a market position as Martin holds today. Recognising the long and successful history of Jem family smoke products and Martin's unique background in continuously offering leading smoke products to the market, by setting focus on value and benefits for the customer, I'm confident that we will remain the preferred choice within the industry."
Hansen is based at Martin Professional's worldwide headquarters in Aarhus, Denmark and replaces Mark Frihagen as product manager. Frihagen, business area manager, smoke, also recently assumed the position of managing director for Martin's security smoke division.
