Managing Board member Robert van de Kerkhof to leave Lenzing at the end of
2023
• Robert van de Kerkhof is not available for a further extension of his
contract
• Managing Board to be reduced from four to three members
Lenzing – There will be a personnel change on the Managing Board of the
Lenzing Group, the world’s leading supplier of wood-based specialty
fibers. Robert van de Kerkhof, Chief Commercial Officer Fiber and member
of the Managing Board since 2014, informed the Supervisory Board that he
would not be available for a further extension of his contract, which runs
until December 31, 2023.
“Robert van de Kerkhof has excellently fulfilled his role as Chief
Commercial Officer since 2014 and contributed significantly to the
successful development of the Lenzing Group. With the disciplined
implementation of the corporate strategy, in particular the investment
projects in Thailand and Brazil as well as the positioning of the TENCEL™
and VEOCEL™ brands, Lenzing is ideally positioned for the future and the
growing demand for eco-friendly fibers. We would like to thank him for his
dedicated and trustful cooperation and wish him all the best for his
future path,” says Cord Prinzhorn, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of
the Lenzing Group.
“After nine years, it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to leave
the Lenzing Group as a member of the Managing Board at the end of the
year. I would like to thank my colleagues on the Managing Board as well as
all employees. It has been a fantastic journey with outstanding
achievements, including the successful implementation of our new plants
and our brand strategy, groundbreaking product innovations as well as
becoming a champion of sustainability,” says Robert van de Kerkhof.
The Managing Board of Lenzing Group will thus be reduced from four to
three members. Chief Executive Officer Stephan Sielaff will essentially
take over the commercial agenda in the fiber division. Robert van de
Kerkhof will continue to drive the sustainability area, including the
CO[2] roadmap, as Chief Sustainability Officer until the end of his
current term of office.
