Huhtamaki has appointed Thomas Morin as president, fiber packaging, and member of the global executive team, effective 1 September 2026. He will report to president and chief executive officer Ralf K Wunderlich and will be based in Espoo, Finland.
Morin succeeds Sara Engber, who was appointed president, North America, in May 2026.
Morin joins Huhtamaki from TC Transcontinental, where he served as chief executive officer and, prior to that, as president, TC Transcontinental Packaging Division, since 2019. He brings more than 25 years of global leadership experience in the packaging industry across North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa at TC Transcontinental, Amcor, Alcan and Pechiney.
“I am pleased to welcome Thomas to Huhtamaki and the Global Executive Team. Thomas brings extensive executive leadership experience, deep packaging industry expertise, and a proven track record of delivering profitable growth, organically and through acquisitions, across international markets. Fiber Packaging is a strategically important segment for Huhtamaki, and I am confident that Thomas is well positioned to build on its strong foundation and lead its continued success,” said Wunderlich.
“I would also like to thank Sara Engber for successfully leading the Fiber Packaging segment. Her leadership and commitment have ensured very strong performance,” he added.
“I am excited to join Huhtamaki and lead the Fiber Packaging segment at an important stage in its development. Fiber-based packaging plays an increasingly important role in meeting evolving customer and consumer needs, and Huhtamaki has built a strong position in this attractive market. I look forward to working with the talented team to strengthen the business further, drive profitable growth, and create value for our customers and shareholders,” said Morin.
Following this change, the members of Huhtamaki’s global executive team are Wunderlich (chair), president and chief executive officer; Fredrik Davidsson, president, foodservice packaging; Engber, president, North America; Thomas Geust, chief financial officer; Axel Glade, president, flexible packaging; Katariina Kravi, executive vice president, human resources, safety and communications; Morin, president, fiber packaging (as of 1 September 2026); Riikka Tieaho, executive vice president, sustainability, corporate affairs and legal; and Changsheng Wu, executive vice president, procurement.
