Long serving CEO of Intersnack Australia and New Zealand, Paul Musgrave, has resigned. The company's managing director Kurt Preshaw will take his place.
Intersnack ANZ is the parent company of Snack Brands Australia and Griffin's Snacks in New Zealand. It manufacturers some of the most iconic chip and snack brands in Australia: CC’s, Thins, Kettle chips, The Natural Chip Co., Cheezels, Samboy, Chickadees, French Fries, and Jumpy’s.
Musgrave joined the company 24 years ago to launch Snack Brands Australia in 1998. He played an integral role in the growth and expansion of the business, including Griffin’s in New Zealand.
Preshaw joined the company in 2020 as chief strategy & commercial officer and became managing director at the beginning of this year.
He has more than 20 years experience in FMCG and prior to Intersnack was PepsiCo managing director for Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar.
Preshaw said that while Intersnack ANZ is part of a multinational organisation, he was looking forward to continuing the company's tradition of working with local farmers, suppliers, and customers to grow and build a strong business and manufacturing footprint in both Australia and New Zealand.
In September 2021, the company’s proposed $222 million expansion of its Orchard Hills site in Western Sydney was classified as a State Significant Development Application.
The company's marketing and innovation director Mark Fryday has been appointed managing director. He has been with Intersnack for 12 years.
Intersnack ANZ's ultimate parent is Intersnack Group GmbH & Co, a German snackfood company.
