Cement producer PPC on Friday
confirmed that Roland van
Wijnen would formally take over as CEO from October 1.
This follows his receiving a work permit.
PPC in June announced that Van Wijnen, a Dutch
national, had been appointed to succeed outgoing CEO Johan Claassen.
“He is an ideal appointment as he has detailed
knowledge of the cement sector. He is
up-to-speed with our global strategic imperatives and will advance the process
without any delays,” chairperson Jabu
Moleketi said at the time.
Van Wijnen, who worked for LafargeHolcim for 17
years, has signed a four-year contract with PPC.
He will be tasked with building and developing the executive team and jointly accelerating the process of turning PPC into a high-performance organisation that offers superior products and solutions to customers. http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/ppc-confirms-appointment-of-roland-van-wijnen-as-ceo-2019-09-20
