Country Manager Nordics

As the European market leader in collecting and processing used cooking oils, we transform waste into sustainable biofuels—helping businesses and families contribute to a greener future (90% reduction in CO2-emissions). With 700 dedicated employees across 10 countries (headquartered in Belgium), we are committed to excellence in logistic efficiency, customer satisfaction and sustainability.

Over the past 15 years, Quatra has grown exponentially through a buy-and-build strategy, evolving from a local Belgian player into an international, state-of-the-art company with a 10-15% market share in the EU. In a dynamic and fast-changing market, we successfully combine innovation with operational excellence. More than 150,000 customers entrust Quatra with their used oil collection and fresh cooking oil supply needs.

Despite our rapid growth and advanced technologies, Quatra remains a true family business, where fast decision-making and short communication lines are the norm. We embrace a diverse mix of cultures, all united under a shared mission and vision: “Think global, act local.”

Quatra is already active in Sweden and has ambitious plans to expand further into the Nordic region, including Norway and Denmark. With our proven track record in scaling operations and driving efficiency, we are looking for passionate leaders to help us establish and grow our presence in these key markets.
