In order to keep the current momentum in the ongoing transformation of the company, Stephane Hamelin, who knows the envelope and packaging industry very well and was closely involved in developing the turnaround plan, will take the role as CEO with immediate effect. The senior and experienced leadership team that is already in place will support Stephane Hamelin. Anders Davidsson will also stay for some time to secure a smooth handover.
Stephane Hamelin joined Bong’s Board of Directors in 2010 and has been the Chairman of the Board since May 2013. He has an extensive experience of the office products industry and also knows the envelope industry very well. Before the merger with Bong in 2010, he used to personally run the envelope division of Groupe Hamelin for many years.
Stephane Hamelin will resign from his position as Chairman at the same time when he takes the role as CEO of the group. The Board of Directors has instead decided to appoint Eric Joan as new Chairman of Bong until the next Annual General Meeting.
Bong is a leading provider of specialised packaging and envelope products in Europe, offering solutions for distribution and packaging of information, advertising materials and lightweight goods.
