"We regret that Christian Jepsen has decided to leave FLSmidth, however, sometimes you just have to pursue the good opportunities, and we are pleased that Christian is joining one of our major customers, and we wish him all the best and a lot of continued success," says Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen.
