Danish Crown A/S hired Niels Duedahl from energy firm Norlys AS to lead Europe’s biggest pork producer as it combats flagging demand.

Duedahl, who has helmed Norlys since 2009, will start on Sept. 2, according to a statement on Monday. He takes over from Jais Valeur, who announced in June he was stepping down after nine years in the role.
