He succeeds Jean-Pierre Dhanis, who will retire on 30 April 2006.The move is part of a major change in managers across the company, agreed by the supervisory board of BASF in a 16 Dec. meeting, notably including appointments such as:* Martin Brudermüller (44), to the Board of Executive Directors with effect from 1 Jan. 2006. He currently heads BASF's Functional Polymers division, but will assume responsibility for Asia and be headquartered in Hong Kong from 1 April 2006.* Eggert Voscherau remains vice chairman and industrial relations director until May 2008;* The supervisory board of BASF Coatings AG, Münster, will be asked to elect Raimar Jahn as successor to Jean-Pierre Monteny, president and chairman of the board who will retire on 30 June 2006.
