Spain: The Spanish cement producer Cementos Portland Valderrivas has announced that it will appoint Juan Bejar Ochoa as its executive chairman. Bejar will replace Dieter Kiefer, who will leave the company after four years at the helm. Juan Bejar joined the company recently in January 2012.
The changes in Cementos Portland's top management come at a tough moment for the firm given the slump in cement sales on the domestic market, as well as the problems at its production sites in Tunisia.
