Zwolle - November 14 th 2016
The supervisory board of RoodMicrotec, the Dutch semiconductor supplier of advanced microchips, is to nominate Herman Bartelink and Jeroen Tuik as its members on November 23 rd . Company veteran and previous CEO Philip Nijenhuis will step down as member of the supervisory board. On this occasion the company also celebrates 30 years of business by opening the Amsterdam stock exchange with the ringing of the gong. The nomination of Bartelink and Tuik will be submitted for approval at an extraordinary shareholders meeting in January 2017.
Philip Nijenhuis said: "RoodMicrotec is preparing itself for a new phase of further growth, and Herman and Jeroen build on this as they succeed me. Now that RoodMicrotec turns 30, it is a good moment to handover to the next generation."
Both candidates have a background in industrial and electronic engineering. Herman Bartelink (1969) has held senior positions as financial director and controller and is currently Managing Director for the Netherlands at Benchmark Electronics, an American electronics manufacturing company. Jeroen Tuik (1973), who has held various leadership positions, is presently CEO at Connect Group, a certified supplier of technology, production systems, printed circuit boards and cable assembly services to Europe's industrial markets.
The nomination comes at a time that RoodMicrotec maintains a strong and stable book-to-bill ratio above 1.1, new orders are coming in, and the previously announced orders are entering the industrialisation phase. The company will hold an investors' meeting on the 23 rd at 15:45 to celebrate the anniversary of the business.
Rood Microtec CEO Martin Sallenhag said: "It is symbolic that at this 30-year milestone, many projects are entering the industrialisation phase. This will generate new revenue for the company and create a return on our investments. The financial and leadership experience of Herman Bartelink and Jeroen Tuik will strengthen this momentum even further."
Philip Nijenhuis, who has been with the company for twelve years, has recovered successfully from his health problems. He will remain an advisor to the company.
Vic Tee, Chairman of the Supervisory Board said: "Philip has been instrumental in transforming RoodMicrotec from a pure test house to a supplier of full technology solutions. With Herman and Jeroen on board we expect to continue this work".
