The Face of Hygienic Cleaning Tools

Carsten Bo Pedersen, Vikan


In 2023, Vikan celebrates 125 years of innovation. For the last 15 years, Carsten Bo Pedersen has made the most of his time leading the hygienic tool company. Since its inception, Vikan has provided cleaning tools to the food processing industry. However, the tools of the 1800s hardly resemble the cutting-edge designs such as the Ultra Safe Technology line that Vikan began producing under Pedersen’s leadership.

Pedersen brought 14 years of food industry experience with him when he joined the Denmark-based company in 1994. Having previously managed a food packaging production company, he was familiar with the high safety standards and strict regulations the industry is bound to.

As Group Managing Director, he’s focused his efforts on driving product innovation, improving sustainability and increasing the brand’s expertise and thought leadership in the food safety field.

In his free time, Pedersen enjoys cycling, traveling and good food and wine.
