Seneffe, June 8, 2017. At today's Annual General Meeting in Seneffe (Belgium), the shareholders of Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG SA added Paola Eckert-Palvarini as a new director to the board, thereby bringing the number of women almost on par with the number of male board members. Mrs. Eckert-Palvarini, a graduate of the University of Milan (Italy), is a radiation physicist by education and has broad knowledge of the industry and the technical aspects of brachytherapy. She worked as an application specialist for BEBIG several years ago, and then initiated a number of award-winning non-profit initiatives in the area of natural science education ('Forschergarten', 'Radioaktivitätslabor'). She is also a partner to a venture capital company specializing on medical device companies.

'We are pleased to add an experienced radiation therapy woman to our board and are looking forward to a successful cooperation', said Dr. Harald Hasselmann, Chief Executive Officer of Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG. 'In our technical industry, it is often not easy to find candidates with a suitable background in both the subject matter and in business economics.'
