I’m excited at the prospect of helping ensure Lindemann’s continued success, both on behalf of the company’s stakeholders and also for the benefits the metal circular economy can bring to society. In my new role I will do everything to steer the company into a successful future – and bring all our employees and customers along with me on this exciting journey.”
