I’m delighted that the Supervisory Board has selected a seasoned manufacturing and information technology professional to join Sif and to assume end-responsibility for these functions. Pepijn will build on the work our present COO Frank Kevenaar has done and it allows Frank to dedicate all his energy to the ramp-up of our new manufacturing plant at Maasvlakte.”
