We have many great opportunities for growth and I look forward to, with my 33 years of experience in the textile chemical industry, successfully executing and contributing to Polygienes future success. I believe that a combination of mill-level problem solving along with solid relationships with our customers, is key for capitalising on all of our growth opportunities,” said Stevens.

Stevens will begin his new position on June 1.
