Gregan, who was associated with Trevira as CEO for a two year contract following consultancy support during  the takeover process,  will leave Trevira on completion of his contract   June 30  and revert to his consulting work at his own request and for personal reasons.

Under Gregan’s reign, a series of comprehensive restructuring and strategic projects including reducing the number of Trevira sites have been completed successfully, the company said. The two strategic business units Staple SBU at Bobingen under the leadership of Hartmann Huth and Filament SBU at Guben under the leadership of Edo Lieven have been created with a clear focus on individual SBUs.
