PlasticsEurope appoints new Executive Director
PlasticsEurope, the pan-European trade association representing European
plastics manufacturers, has announced the appointment of Karl Foerster as
Executive Director. Mr Foerster has been the Chief Executive Officer of
Neochimiki Group, Athens. He will take up his new position at
PlasticsEurope as of 1st October 2013.
'We are delighted to be able to appoint someone of Karl's ability and
expertise to this important role' - said Patrick Thomas, CEO Bayer
MaterialScience and President of PlasticsEurope. 'His experience in working
in senior positions across different markets of the industry will be an
invaluable asset to PlasticsEurope members and our external partners.'
Karl Foerster added: 'I am very honoured to take on the position of
Executive Director, and to have the opportunity to work with such a
talented and experienced team. PlasticsEurope has a crucial role to play
in communicating the benefits of plastics to a wide range of stakeholder
audiences, and at the same time helping drive sustainable industry
responses to challenging societal issues. I look forward to providing my
own contributions to this effort, while building on existing initiatives
such as the Zero Plastics to Landfill by 2020 campaign. '
An economics graduate from the University of Wuerzburg, Germany, with an
MBA from the University of Rhode Island, USA, Karl Foerster brings to his
new role nearly 30 years of experience in the chemical and plastics
industry. Before joining Neochimiki seven years ago, Foerster served as
Vice President at PolymerLatex and held various executive management
positions during his 20 years at BASF. He has been working in 9 countries
in Europe, Asia, and North America.
Foerster takes over from outgoing Executive Director Wilfried Haensel who
has been in the position since 2007. Commenting on Haensel's retirement on
behalf of the membership of PlasticsEurope, Patrick Thomas remarked:
'We are very grateful to Wilfried for the strategic vision he brought, for
his commitment, dynamism and the bold and innovative path on which he set
the association over the past 7 years, we wish him every success and
happiness in his future endeavours.'
