Lanxess to head global procurement and logistics
Marcel Beermann will take over as head of the procurement and logistics group function at the German specialty chemicals company Lanxess on 1 June. He succeeds Frederique van Baarle, who will become head of the high performance materials business unit on the same date. Beermann is currently head of marketing and sales for high-performance plastics in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region at Lanxess.
“Over the past one and a half years, Beermann has been able to further deepen his profound understanding of the markets and players in the chemical industry in an executive position in our operational business. He has done an excellent job here, as he did during his ten years as head of the mergers & acquisitions group function. I am very pleased that he can now contribute his extensive know-how to our global purchasing and logistics operations and wish him every success in his new role," said Hubert Fink, member of the Lanxess management board.
