Lieven Vandendriessche appointed CEO of Latexco Group

The family Luc and Carole Maes and the Board of Directors hereby announce that Lieven Vandendriessche is appointed CEO of the Latexco Group as of July 15th 2019.

Lieven has a master’s degree in business economics and over 25 years of experience in different management positions in industrial companies.  He started his career with 15 years at Deceuninck, where he took, amongst others, the role of business development director and VP of operations.  Next, he entered the bedding sector for the first time, as general manager Europe at Bekaert Deslee. Until July 2019 he was managing director of the carpets and tiles division at Balta Group.

Lieven Vandendriessche : “I am really looking forward to start with Latexco. First and foremost because Latexco is a family business, which allows us to really go for the long term.  Second, I see a lot of potential for growth, enabled by the recent investments. The bedding sector is in full transition, and I am convinced that Latexco holds a unique position that enables the company to emerge as a winner.

Carole Maes: “As my father is taking a step back,  Lieven and I will work together closely to lead Latexco towards further growth, diversification and internationalisation”.
