In a press release issued on November 13, Kagome USA announced that Jason Fritsch, currently the CEO of Kagome Australia and President of WPTC from November 2022 to June 2024, has been appointed as the new CEO of Kagome USA.

After over 30 years of dedicated service, Luis De Oliveira, our esteemed CEO, will be retiring in 2025. Luis has been a key figure in driving Kagome USA’s growth and success, and his contributions have played a significant role in establishing our company as a leader in the food industry. We are deeply grateful for his leadership and commitment to excellence.
 
 In light of Luis’s retirement, we are pleased to announce that Jason Fritsch, currently the CEO of Kagome Australia, has been appointed as the new CEO of Kagome USA. Jason will assume his new role in January 2025. With over 18 years of experience leading Kagome Australia, Jason has demonstrated exceptional leadership and a deep understanding of our industry. His collaborative and forward-thinking approach will be instrumental in continuing the growth and innovation that have been hallmarks of Kagome USA.

We want to assure you that this transition will be smooth and that Kagome USA remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of service, quality, and partnership that you have come to expect. Jason is excited to work with you and continue to strengthen the relationships that are so vital to our mutual success.

Alongside these changes, Kagome is pleased to announce Brad Free’s appointment as CEO of Kagome Australia. With over 14 years at Kagome Australia, most recently as General Manager of Factory Operations, Brad brings extensive experience in engineering and operations. His dedication to continuous improvement and a positive workplace culture will support Kagome Australia’s continued growth.

Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns during this transition period. We value your partnership with and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration under Jason’s leadership.
