Change on the management board

 

Jean-Michael Peter, long-standing CEO of LEUCO S.à.r.l, retired at the end of February 2026. He is succeeded by Dr. Dominique Fendeleur. 

 

After more than 36 years with the LEUCO Group, including nine years as CEO, Jean-Michel Peter retired at the end of February 2026. During his time with the company, he promoted the development of LEUCO with commitment, strategic vision, and a sense of responsibility. Under the management board, LEUCO S.à.r.l. consolidated its position, expanded its expertise, and continued its dynamic innovation and growth. Jean-Michel Peter's leadership qualities, high professional standards, and commitment to the company's values have had a lasting impact on the team and partners.

 

To ensure continuity and maintain this momentum, Dr. Dominique Fendeleur took over the position of CEO on March 1, 2026. Dominique Fendeleur has been with the LEUCO Group since 1997 and has held various strategic positions, most recently as Technical Product Director at LEUCO Production S.à.r.l. His high level of expertise, detailed knowledge of the company, and forward-looking innovative strength make him the ideal person to meet the challenges and achieve the goals facing the Group. This transition is in line with the desire for continuity, stability, and sustainable development of the business.
