    EDANA Elects Board

    Fibertex's Mikael Staal Axelsen named chairman

    07.05.19
    EDANA has elected new governors and a new team of officers for 2019 - 2020. Mikael Staal Axelsen (Fibertex) accepted the nomination of chairman and will be supported in the role by vice-chairs Omar Hoek (Ahlstrom-Munksjö, France) and David Lamb (Nonwovenn Ltd, UK). Paul Eevers’ (Unilever) position as treasurer was also renewed. Announced at EDANA’s recent Annual Strategic Review and AGM in Vienna, the newly elected board began their term on July 1.

    In addition to his long-standing support of the association as a board member, Staal Axelsen is a vocal participant in many of EDANA’s working groups, ever ready to facilitate constructive debate and garner support for EDANA’s growing range of initiatives. “This nomination is naturally an honor, but I take the true pleasure in collaborating with our members in their extensive and growing commitment to the evolution of our network” says Staal Axelsen. “At a time of rapid change and increased scrutiny on many fronts, it’s very encouraging to see such tangible momentum. My ongoing focus will be to ensure that these new frontiers are successfully crossed and that we maintain our strategic interests of stakeholder engagement, global outreach and sustainable growth.”

    The following governors were elected as new board members:
    • Mr. Michael Baumgartner, managing vice president Eurasia, Fitesa, DE
    • Mrs. Christian Hassmann, director of Global Filtration and Separation, Johns Manville, DE
    • Mr. Petri Helsky, president & CEO, Suominen, Finland
    • Mrs. Christine Lemoine, Tyvek global technology manager, DuPont, Luxembourg
    • Mr. John McNabb, chief technology officer, Freudenberg Performance Materials, DE
    • Mrs. Elizabeth Metz, vice president of Global Nonwovens, Kimberly-Clark, USA
    • Mrs. Kristin Olofsson, Innovation, Sustainability & CSR director, Trioplast Group, Sweden
    • Mr. Mark Thornton, global director of Materials, Procter & Gamble, DE

    The team of officers is reinforced by executive governors, co-opted by the board: Mrs. Patricia Featherstone, director Marketing & Communications, RKW Hygiene & Industrial Division, Belgium (also chair of the Nominating Committee), Åsa Johansson, global material development director for Personal Care, Essity, Sweden and Krzysztof Malowaniec, senior vice president, Paul Hartmann, DE.
