New Lanxess chief executive to start in April

06/03/2014
Leather chemicals manufacturer Lanxess has confirmed that its new chief executive, Matthias Zachert, will take up the role and become chairman of the company’s board of management on April 1, 2014.

Until Mr Zachert joins the company from his current role as chief financial officer of pharmaceutical and life sciences company Merck, Lanxess’s chief fiancial officer, Bernhard Duettmann, will carry out the chairman’s responsibilities.

Axel Heitmann stepped down as chairman and chief executive of Lanxess at the end of February. In an earlier announcement, the company limited itself to saying Mr Zachert would take up the role before the middle of May, but his start-date is now confirmed as April 1.
