(Brussels, Belgium) -- Alan Murray, a former member of HeidelbergCement's Management Board and Dr Herbert Lütkestratkötter have been appointed to the Supervisory Board of HeidelbergCement.
Dr Lütkestratkötter and Mr Murray will replace Eduard Schleicher and Gerhard Hirth, who resigned their positions at the end of last year following changes in the shareholding structure of HeidelbergCement.
Heidelberg Cement's Management Board Chairman Dr Bernd Scheifele said, "We are delighted that we have been able to win over two experienced and highly competent new members in Dr Lütkestratkötter and Mr Murray for our Supervisory Board.
