New C.E.O. Jean-Pierre Princen Appointed Head of Goëmar Laboratories

Saint Malo, France (ots/PRNewswire) -

Jean-Pierre Princen, 55, a well-known figure in the Agro-Industry
world, is taking over the leadership of the Goëmar Group, a company
specialized in sustainable technologies for productive Agriculture.

The French Goëmar Group, which specializes in particular in Sea
Technologies for Agriculture, has announced the arrival February 15th
2012 of its new Chief Executive Officer, Jean-Pierre Princen.

He 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 the Group's growth by expanding
the Goëmar position in the French and international markets, through
the development and the acquisition of new products for productive
and sustainable Agriculture.

Jean-Pierre Princen has been involved for many years in the
development and the progress in the world of agriculture, and seeks
to intensify both: "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. 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."

Pierre Lefebvre, who hands over his responsibilities to
Jean-Pierre Princen, takes back his position within the board of
Directors. "I am very happy to hand over the Goëmar Group commands to
Jean-Pierre Princen. I completely trust his capabilities to take on
the destiny of this nice company."

For BeCapital and Pechel, the majority shareholders in Goëmar, the
arrival of the new Chief Executive Officer demonstrates their
ambition for Goëmar to serve the Agricultural model of tomorrow:
"Jean-Pierre Princen's agreement to join the Goëmar Group as an
investor and Chief Executive Officer is a tremendous asset. The
combination of our financial resources and his experience and
leadership will strengthen the Group's position to serve a productive
and sustainable Agriculture."
