Start of Business Incubation & Development at Teijin Aramid

Arnhem, the Netherlands, May 25, 2010 (ots/PRNewswire)

Teijin Aramid
in Arnhem starts a new department, Business Incubation & Development.
Teijin hopes this will enable the company to have a quick and
flexible answer to the market demand for innovative technologies. The
new unit will focus on the development of new markets, with new
products and technologies.
In April 2010, the Teijin Group finalized an important
organizational change into the Aramid Fibers Business Group (AFBG).
The AFBG is under the management of Eiso Alberda van Ekenstein, and
with that he has become the first non-Japanese member of the
Management Board of the Teijin Group. His previous position as CEO
and President of Teijin Aramid has been taken over by Gert Frederiks,
who until then was the Marketing & Sales Director. Christoph Hahn is
appointed Marketing & Sales Director at Teijin Aramid as of April
1st. Before that, Hahn was business manager Heat and Cut Protection.
Before this change, the business incubation & development
activities formed part of Marketing and Sales under the management of
Gert Frederiks. During the transition to the AFBG it was decided to
create a fulltime Management Team position for this, under the
management of Peter Paping.
Business Incubation and Development will play a vital role
between Research & Development on the one hand, and the global
marketing and commercialization of Teijin's Aramid products on the
other. On the one hand, the department will focus on a number of
sectors where the Teijin Aramid products and applications already
hold a good reputation, and on the other it will look for new markets
and new products and product applications. The sectors Teijin Aramid
currently operates in include the automotive, construction, defense,
aviation, cable, ballistics, optical cable and offshore industries.
The Aramid Fibers Business Group was set up in order to combine
the global knowledge of and experience with Aramid products, in which
Teijin Aramid, with its head office in Arnhem, will be playing a
crucial role in the global fiber technology. This organizational
change was started in April last year and was finalized recently.
