Aligning the composition of Rockwool Group's top management to future needs
with even more focus on customers and global markets 

The Rockwool Group will be strengthened by establishment of a new top
management position called Group Business Development - to be filled by Bo
Rygaard. 

Bo (44 years old) is presently Managing Director of Rockwool Scandinavia. He
holds an M.Sc in Business Administration and has prior to his career in the
Rockwool Group held leading positions in Nordisk Film, the Fazer Group and Duni
AB. He will as of 1 October become responsible for development on Group level
of new business initiatives, branding, communication and enforcement of the
gradual change towards globalisation of the business and organisation. Bo
Rygaard will also become Chairman of the supervisory committees of Rockwool
Scandinavia and Rockwool Technical Insulation. 

Bo will be succeeded by Thomas Kähler who is today Managing Director of
RockDelta. 

The position in Group Management as Senior Vice President Group Technology will
cease to exist and therefore Carsten Winther will leave the company. Carsten
Winther has had a long and successful career in the Rockwool Group where he has
played an important role in establishing a strong technical platform for the
future development of the company. 

Three of the present six functions under Group Technology will be combined into
a new department Group Production reporting to member of Group Management and
Division Managing Director Theo Kooij. 

Division Managing Director Patrice Azaïs will also leave Group Management and
take up the Managing Directorship of the organisation servicing the global
sandwich panel market. 

Fully in line with the requirements for cost efficiency due to the present
market situation, Group Management has been reduced from 8 to 7 members whilst
increasing focus towards our customers and selected market segments. The
Group's members of “Direktionen” will hereafter be CEO Eelco van Heel and CFO
Gilles Maria.
