Silab has appointed Paul Eguia to its management board as general manager in charge of economic intelligence.
Eguia, who is the grandson of Silab founder Jean Paufique, was previously manager of the natural raw materials platform at the French cosmetic active maker.
He joins the management board alongside chief executive officer Brigitte Closs-Gonthier, Jean-Philippe Cosson, Florence Giner-Meilhac, and Dominique Muller.
Silab said Eguia’s appointment by the supervisory board to the position of general manager in charge of economic intelligence marks an important step in the family continuity desired by the company's founder.
“Continuity remains a watchword when it comes to making strategic decisions and embodying our values,” said Closs-Gonthier.
“The fact that Paul Eguia is joining the management board is proof of this: this appointment maintains the link between shareholders and the company and strengthens the stability of our organisation in the medium and long term,” she added.
Silab, founded in 1984, is a 100% family-owned company that since 2003 has been a limited company with management and supervisory boards.
Eguia said: "For nearly 40 years, my grandfather built a solid company that is a reference in its market and upholds deeply rooted values. From the outset, he defended Silab’s independence with conviction and pride.
“Today, as a new member of the management board, I am honoured to be part of continuing this wonderful adventure on the path to success and perpetuating Silab's identity.”
