The European Wood-Based Panels Federation (EPF) unanimously elected Martin Brettenthaler, CEO of Swiss Krono Group and Tobias Schindler, CSO of Steico SE, to its Managing Board with immediate effect.
Martin Brettenthaler was also named as Chairman designate of EPF, subject to approval by the General Assembly on 10 June 2021.
That is when the 3rd consecutive term of existing Chairman Dr Paolo Fantoni, of FANTONI Spa, will come to an end.
Mr Brettenthaler will represent EPF as early as 8 April 2021, when he will deliver a speech at the wood sector’s conference on the New European Bauhaus.
The General Assembly also accepted, with thanks for their service and commitment, the related resignations from the EPF Managing Board of Max von Tippelskirch, of Swiss Krono Group and Boris Buchwald, of Steico SE.
The European Panel Federation has members in more than 32 European countries and represents the manufacturers of particleboard, MDF, OSB, hardboard, softboard and plywood.
