Leadership Transition Announced as Kent Arentoft Steps Down from H+H International Board

H+H International A/S Announces Board Leadership Change

In a significant announcement for stakeholders and industry watchers, H+H International A/S has revealed that Kent Arentoft, the long-serving Chair of the Board of Directors, will be stepping down at the upcoming annual general meeting scheduled for April 8, 2025. Arentoft has been a pivotal figure at H+H since April 2013, guiding the company through periods of growth and transformation.

Arentoft's leadership has been marked by substantial accomplishments, including the consolidation of the Polish AAC market and strategic expansions into the CSU production segment in Poland. Furthermore, he played an instrumental role in establishing H+H as a market leader in the UK, reinforcing the company’s competitive edge across various regions. Under his stewardship, H+H has effectively navigated through macroeconomic challenges, streamlining operations and reinforcing financial resilience, culminating in a robust position well-suited for future opportunities.

His decision to leave the Board comes at a time when the company finds itself ready for the next phase of growth. With the groundwork laid for future success, Arentoft feels that now is the right moment for new leadership to take the helm. The Board has proposed to elect Miguel Kohlmann as the new Chair. Kohlmann, currently the Vice Chair since 2024 and a board member since 2018, possesses extensive management expertise in the building materials industry on a global scale.

The decision to appoint Kohlmann signals H+H's commitment to continuity and effective leadership as they transition into new ventures. If approved at the annual general meeting, this change in leadership is expected to bolster H+H’s position in the market. Industry experts anticipate that Kohlmann's experience will drive the company towards sustained growth and innovation.

In his tenure, Arentoft has not only enhanced operational efficiencies but also strengthened the organizational culture at H+H, creating an environment where innovation can flourish. His departure will undoubtedly mark the end of an era, as he leaves behind a legacy of successful initiatives and a strong foundation for future leaders.

H+H has extended an invitation to stakeholders and industry partners to engage with the new leadership team and discuss strategies moving forward. The company’s continued focus on operational excellence, efficiency improvements, and market leadership will remain a top priority.

For more information regarding this leadership transition, stakeholders can reach out to Niclas Bo Kristensen, Head of Investor Relations at H+H, through the provided contact details.

H+H International A/S looks forward to this new chapter and remains poised for compelling growth prospects in the future, driven by a strong leadership team and a commitment to excellence.
