Mr. Bellinkx said Ms. Lila Poonawala had resigned as Chairperson of the board of Alfa Laval (India) Ltd, and would keep her position as Chairperson of Tetra Pak and Delaval. Prof. Goran Grosskopf, Chairman of the Tetra Laval group, and Mr. Bo Wirsen, Pre sident and CEO of Tetra Pak-Asia region, have also resigned from the board of Alfa Laval (India) Ltd.

Mr. Yannick Richomme, Executive Vice-President, Alfa Laval group and President for Business Area Separation, and Mr. Peter Leifland, Executive Vice-President, Alfa Laval group, have entered as new board members.
