Goëmar Group Names New CEO
French company Goëmar Group has named Jean-Pierre Princen as its new chief executive officer.
Princen is currently in charge of the crop protection business for France and Benelux at the DuPont de Nemours group, and is chairman at UIPP, the Plant Protection Industry Union.
This appointment reflects the shareholders’ wish to speed up Goëmar Group’s growth by expanding its position in the French and international markets, through the development and the acquisition of new products for productive and sustainable agriculture.
“With a career spent to develop various strategic projects both in France and the USA in such major groups as Dupont, Monsanto and Cargill, I am truly delighted to commit myself as the CEO and co-investor of Goëmar,” Princen said. “I was really attracted by what this mid-size French company embodies, with rapid organic growth based upon ongoing innovations, in the fields of plant bio-control and bio-stimulation. I believe that the Goëmar solutions are complementary to fertilizers and agro-chemicals to improve plant nutrition and health.”
