Bethru announces founder transition and strategic shift
Bethru has made a significant announcement about changes in its ownership structure and Management Board. At the close of 2023, Rui Bento, one of the company's founders and the visionary behind the eco-friendly cleaning and personal care products, has decided to depart. Rui, the originator and face of the Bethru project, played a crucial role in establishing the startup in Łódź alongside co-founder Thomas Hirsch.
In a heartfelt message, Rui shared the emotional journey of dedicating three years to Bethru, building a distinctive brand, and expanding the product range. Despite facing challenges, the decision to leave was made, leading to the sale of Rui's shares to the second founder, Thomas Hirsch, who is now the main shareholder of Bethru.
