Africa. He spent four years with the ABB Group as General Manager of the ABB

the group. Philippe has a wealth of experience in the international environment 
and his skills will add tremendous value. Having Pieter and Arnold on the board 
as business heads will ensure that the Company is able to react on a timely 
basis to changes in our challenging markets.  With these changes the executive 
board appointments are now complete."
