“A lot of good work has been put in over the years, and I look forward to continuing to develop our market position and our partnerships together with great colleagues,” Wingaard said.
Grieg CEO Nina Willumsen Grieg said she looked forward to working with Wingaard.
“His experience, competence, and deep understanding of Grieg Seafood will be important drivers of our success in the years ahead,” she said.

“As demand grows for sustainable sources of protein and omega-3s, Scoular’s marine ingredients business is evolving to meet it,” Scoular CEO Paul Maass said.
The firm’s marine ingredients business sources and supplies fishmeal and fish oil for human consumption, animal feed, aquafeed, and pet food globally, with offices in the U.S., Mexico, Chile, Singapore, China, South Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Thailand.

Maass, Ibach, Stella, and Verlarde are all long-time employees of Scoular, though Stella comes most recently from Performance Trust Capital Partners where he served as vice president of the company’s Financial Institutions Group. Before his time at the bank, he worked for Scoular as a commodity trader.
