There has been a change of management at Kuraray Europe GmbH (KEG) in Hattersheim am Main, Germany: Yoshiki Kuroki took over as Co-Managing Director in April. He succeeds Masuo Oba, who has returned to Kuraray’s corporate headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, as Manager Planning & Administration in the Vinyl Acetate Company.

“We would like to thank Masuo Oba for his work for KEG. We are sure that in his new function he will continue to support the collaboration between Europe and Japan,” says Dr. Matthias Gutweiler, Managing Director of KEG.
