Change in the Executive Committee
Michael Riedel named new CEO of FoamPartner

Zurich, October 31, 2017 - The Conzzeta AG Board of Directors has appointed
Michael Riedel as the new CEO of FoamPartner. He will assume the position on
January 1, 2018 and will join the Conzzeta AG Executive Committee.

Dr. Michael Riedel (49, a German national) has worked in various positions at
Clariant since 2009, including as Head of Business Excellence, overseeing the
integration of Süd-Chemie, and as Head of Industrial and Consumer Specialties
for the EMEA region. He currently holds the most senior human resources position
at the company, Group Head Human Resources. Riedel's earlier professional career
included managerial roles in research and development, production as well as
operations at Höchst, Celanese, and SGL Carbon. He studied chemistry at the
University of Münster, where he also completed a PhD in experimental chemistry.

This change at the FoamPartner helm and in the Conzzeta AG Executive Committee
is part of the Group's existing growth strategy. Michael Willome, Conzzeta Group
CEO, comments: "Michael Riedel offers the ideal combination of experience and
skills required for the next stage in FoamPartner's development. In terms of
business scale, we are venturing into new territory with the integration of Otto
Bock Kunststoff. Together, we want to take advantage of the growth
opportunities, also those that have emerged from the recent reorganization of
the joint ventures in Asia and North America."

The current CEO of FoamPartner, Bart J. ten Brink (52), will resign as of the
end of 2017 from his responsibilities as CEO as well as from Conzzeta AG's
Executive Committee. The Board of Directors and Bart J. ten Brink have decided
together, after eight years as CEO, to place FoamPartner's management into new
hands. Bart J. ten Brink wishes to pursue a new challenge outside the Group.
Michael Willome, Conzzeta Group CEO, comments: "Bart J. ten Brink will accompany
the handover to his successor. I would like to thank him for his many years of
successful service. Under his leadership, FoamPartner has become one of the
world's leading providers of foam materials."
