Product range manager
Explanation:
Product range manager would be my suggestion, but you do not give a lot of background.

However, if you google you can compare some of the hits with your text.

Another suggestion:
Something to do with merchandising.
How you translate the ´chef´ element depends on what others at the same level in the company hierarchy are called.
Managers, or whatever.

I think I might go for the product range manager, but if you have time, wait and see what other suggestions and comments come up during the weekend.

Asker: sounds quite unlikely...

Asker: your link takes me to a page on different street theatre productions (street art etc.)...my question was related to products and product ranges (production of products). or did i miss something in the link?

Notes to answerer
Asker: sounds quite good. there isn't much background to give, other than that the company (which is offering a lot of different products in different ranges) is looking for someone to fill the position of 'sortimentschef'. Ex: Vi söker en marknadsinriktad Sortimentschef. Ditt huvudansvar är att skapa lönsamhet och tillväxt - ökad försäljning på ditt sortiment.''
