Change at the top at ExxonMobil Chemical as Kuhlmann retires

| 1 Comment

Ralf Kuhlmann, Business Director Basic Chemicals Europe at ExxonMobil Chemical Europe, retired on 10 March 2010. The role will be taken over by Juhan Robberts.

 

"Yesterday was the last day of a monument in the chemical industry," a trading friend writes to the Blog on hearing of this change.

 

The Blog remembers that Ralf Kuhlmann gave the keynote address on competitive feedstock advantage at the ICIS Third European Aromatics Conference in November 2004 in Antwerp.

 

Kuhlmann was also succeeded as chairman of the APPE (Association of Petrochemical Producers in Europe) by Huub Meessen of Sabic,  in January 2010 and reported in this article on ICIS news at the time.

We remember Ralf fondly and wish him a happy and peaceful retirement. We hope to see him sometime in South France, or maybe Switzerland?
