SPC Samlip nominated two new co-CEOs in a leadership reshuffle aimed at strengthening safety management and accelerating overseas expansion. The nominees are set to be formally appointed at the company’s annual shareholder meeting on March 26.

The company said on Monday that its board has designated Do Se-ho, the CEO of Sangmidang Holdings, and Jeong In-ho, the CEO of Nongshim Kellogg, for the posts.

Do joined Shany in 1987, serving as a plant manager, then as CEO of SPC PACK. He is currently the CEO of Sangmidang Holdings, SPC Samlip's holding company, and Paris Croissant. As co-CEO of SPC Samlip, he will be tasked with strengthening safety management and overhauling Samlip’s production system.

The move is widely seen as the company’s decision to appoint an insider with extensive manufacturing experience in an effort to restore corporate credibility following a series of fatal factory accidents.

Jeong has overseen Nongshim Kellogg and operations in Hong Kong and Taiwan for Kellanova, formerly Kellogg. He will be responsible for expanding Samlip’s overseas business and establishing a more advanced management system.

Samlip had initially planned to reappoint Kim Bum-soo as CEO at the March shareholder meeting and appoint Kyung Jae-hyung, the CEO of Paris Croissant, as Samlip’s senior executive vice president to succeed Hwang Jong-hyeon and form a co-CEO structure with Kim.

However, that plan changed after Kyung tendered his resignation for personal reasons in early March, about three weeks before the shareholder meeting.
