Dock & Talk: Stories from the Top

Ever wondered about the power of dedication, conviction, and staying true to oneself amidst the pressures of helming a thriving company? Felix Ahlers, the visionary CEO of Frosta, has quite the tale to share. Taking over the family’s business, Felix realized that for Frosta to truly shine, a radical transformation of its business model was essential. Moving away from the race to the bottom with low-cost he pivoted towards a commitment to quality, choosing fresh ingredients and establishing a firm stance against any artificial ingredients. The path wasn't easy; Frosta's revenues dipped by up to 30 percent. But Felix's unwavering conviction guided the company through. Fast forward to today, and Frosta stands taller than ever, leading the market and setting standards.
