CEPI Director General Marco Mensink will leave his role in CEPI (Brussels, Belgium) on March 15 to take up the role of director general in CEFIC (the chemical industry trade federation).

"Marco Mensink has had a lengthy career with CEPI and the overall paper industry sector. During that time, he has made a major contribution to progress and lead many innovative initiatives and developments. Above all, he leaves a very professional team of colleagues behind," said Peter Oswald, CEPI Chairman.

The CEPI Board thanks Marco for his major contribution to CEPI and wishes him and his family every success in his new role. CEPI has now commenced the process to appoint a replacement. The search for a replacement will be coordinated by the CEPI Board Steering Committee, chaired by Oswald, with the support of a recruitment agency.
