We take pleasure in announcing the appointment of Philippe Fabre as the CEO of our combined interests in Asia. The operations of Australia, India and Thailand will soon be consolidated into a single entity for the Asia Pacific region, thereby facilitating the exploitation of R&D initiatives, production capacity, markets and resourcing.
The role of the CEO is a new one, and will be integral to the execution of our strategy and operational streamlining of each unit in the medium term. Philippe will re-locate to Bangkok, being the obvious choice and closest to the markets we serve or will seek to enter and support under the new model.
