Roland Weening has stepped down as chief executive of juice drink maker Capri-Sun Group, ending more than a decade with the company.
Weening, who was appointed group CEO in February 2016, left Capri-Sun Group Holding AG with effect from 18 September 2026. The company said he has been released from his position as CEO and from all other duties.
Before joining the Swiss beverage business, Weening held senior roles at consumer goods companies Mondelez International and Unilever.
Capri-Sun is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, and was established in 1969 by Dr Hans-Peter Wild’s father. The company has since grown into an international juice drink business, operating 24 manufacturing facilities and employing approximately 1,000 people globally.
Following Weening’s departure, Capri-Sun said the business will continue to be managed by its existing executives, officers, directors and employees, alongside owner Dr Hans-Peter Wild.
Wild, who built the business over the past five decades, remains chairman of the board.
Capri-Sun did not provide further details regarding Weening’s departure or announce a successor to the CEO role.
