EDANA, the global association serving the nonwovens and related industries, has announced its new board of governors for 2017 - 2018.
Returning chairman Martin Rapp (vice-president and general manager at Glatfelter) will again provide leadership, supported by re-elected vice-chairs Mikael Staal Axelsen (Fibertex) and Pieter Meijer (McAirlaid’s).
Paul Eevers’ (Unilever) position as treasurer was also renewed for another one year term.
The newly elected board will begin its term on July 1, 2017.
In addition to his long-standing support of the association as a board member, Martin Rapp is the chair of the Communications Steering Group, and has ensured widespread member backing for a broad range of EDANA initiatives throughout his tenure.
His ongoing focus will be to ensure that the group’s activities meet the strategic interests of stakeholder engagement, global outreach, and sector expansion.
This year’s review of strategy and objectives featured update presentations from key EDANA working groups and committees.
