“With Eva Baumann, we have appointed a CEO for the CHT Group who has known the company for several years,” said Johan de Ruiter, foundation chairman. “Her many years of experience in managing an international business field and her diverse activities in the chemical industry make her the ideal candidate. In these challenging times, we are confident that Eva Baumann as CEO will ensure and further expand the long-term success of the CHT Group.”

The CHT Group pursues important corporate principles including value-based corporate management, a high level of innovation and continuous commitment to sustainability.

“We are facing challenging but promising times of change,” said Baumann. “As a foundation-owned company, we have a strong backing. Nevertheless, we bear an immense responsibility for the continued existence of the company and for our employees all over the world. As a player in the chemical industry, we are also particularly committed to preserving our planet. Having been part of the CHT Group for many years, I know the character of the company and the people who make it up very well.”
