“I feel a great responsibility to honour the Danish roots and the founder, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen’s vision for Modulex. The company has weathered significant change over the decades, and thanks to my incredible team and personal commitment from Peter Thorsen, our position is very strong. I have always felt incredible support from the team,” says Staalesen. Thorsen, a trusted mentor and business associate to Staalesen, will stay on a minority partner.

“The future of Modulex is in excellent hands,” says Peter Thorsen. “I have had the pleasure of working and mentoring Ketil for many years and see him develop into the leader Modulex needs. His vision, passion and his ability to bring an idea into action will bring Modulex to a new level.”
