The Siam Cement Group (SCG) plans to make a major change in its management team, aimed at giving executives an opportunity to steer the group toward the future of stability. Abhiporn Pasawat, President of Cement Thai Chemical Product Co, an SCG affiliate, disclosed many top executives of the group had enrolled on the mutual separation programme (MSP) to allow the new-generation executives to manage the business to ensure steady performance of the group in the future. Among the participating executives are Chumpol Na Lamliang and himself, effective on January 1, 2006, as well as Dusit Nonthanakorn, President of Cement Thai Product Co, Apivuth Wongphuttapitak, President of Cement Thai Property 2001 Co, and Chalalux Boonnak, President of Cement Thai Holding Co, effective on July 1, 2005. Somboon Chatchaval, President of Siam Pulp and Paper Co, did not join the MSP because he was due to retire late this year.
