Through strategic account development and the build-out of the sales organization across priority international markets, Lagemann will drive Niber’s establishment as a leading ingredient brand in its category.
Commenting on his appointment, Jochen Lagemann said: “What attracted me to Niber is that the company is thinking beyond developing an exceptional material — it is building the foundations of a true ingredient brand. That requires more than great technology; it requires trust, strong partnerships, and a clear value proposition across the entire value chain. My role is to translate Niber’s electrospinning platform into lasting commercial relationships with global brands and establish it as a recognized benchmark for next-generation PFAS-free performance materials.”
