Riber appoints chairman of executive board

Riber S.A. of Bezons, France, which manufactures molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) systems as well as evaporation sources and effusion cells, says that its supervisory board has appointed Frédérick Goutard as chairman of the firm’s executive board, with effect from 1 April. He replaces Jean-Pierre Régner, who has held the position on an interim basis since last May after the resignation of previous chairman Michel Picault.

Goutard is a graduate of the Pierre et Marie Curie and Orsay universities, the Reims ESC and holds an MBA from the University of Toronto. In London, after acting as senior consultant for PricewaterhouseCoopers in the telecoms sector, Goutard joined telecommunications group BT Group in 2000, where he headed service and equipment operations.

In Paris since 2006, Goutard was appointed managing director of the family owned financial holding company NG Investments (Riber’s leading shareholder), in charge in particular of its industrial interests.

*Publication of Riber’s 2008 annual results has been postponed from 11 March to 25 March (after the close of trading), although Riber has already reported revenues (in mid-January).
