LONDON (ICIS)–Germany’s chemical industry trade group, VCI, has nominated Covestro CEO Markus Steilemann for a second term as its president.
Steilemann has been VCI president since September 2022, succeeding Evonik chief Christian Kullmann.
He originally took on the role during what he described at the time as a “serious and challenging” period for Germany’s chemical industry, which has been struggling with energy costs.
The election is scheduled for the Chemistry & Pharma Summit in Berlin on 12 September 2024. Steilemann has worked in the industry for many years, starting his career at Bayer in 1999.
