LANXESS CEO Matthias Zachert thanks all those involved for their work to date and wishes them every success in their new tasks. Zachert: "We at LANXESS are doing everything that is necessary and possible to emerge stronger from the current weak phase in our industry. In addition to savings and structural improvements through our "FORWARD!" action plan, this also includes personnel changes. In this way, we want to provide fresh impetus for future growth. In particular, we want to further strengthen our Consumer Protection segment, which we have established in recent years. We are convinced that this will succeed with the reorganized responsibilities. Our colleagues will be able to develop valuable ideas with a fresh perspective on the business that is new to them. At the same time, we as a Group can continue to benefit from their many years of experience."
