Rademaker Appoints New CEOs

As of January 2018, Gerard Muermans and Roland Kals, currently Commercial Director and Technical Director at Rademaker, are taking over the operational management activities for Rademaker and its subsidiaries.

Jeroen van Blokland has stepped down as CEO at Rademaker BV.

In the new management structure, the two newly-appointed CEOs will be supported by the existing team of directors. In addition, Muermans and Kals have been appointed executive members of the Board of Directors of the holding company Racu BV.

To prepare the company for future challenges, Rademaker decided on a new management structure: the company should remain to be headed by the current board of management, under the leadership of Muermans and Kals. Company owner Van Blokland will remain chairman of the board of directors of Racu BV, focusing on business development and real-estate projects. In addition, Van Blokland will play an important role in determining the company’s long-term policy. As a result, he will remain closely involved in the Rademaker organization, according to the company’s announcement.

The new CEO’s, Muermans and Kals, have successfully worked together at Rademaker for the last 10 years. While they will each have their own focal areas within the Rademaker organization – Muermans is to focus on the external, commercial side of the business, while Kals will be responsible for the internal organization, technical issues and R&D – they will work closely together.
