LafargeHolcim: Reitzle to return to Linde?

LafargeHolcim’s current president, Wolfgang Reitzle, could be returning to Germany-based gas producer Linde to become head of the Supervisory Board after the mandatory two-year waiting period which ends on 20 May 2016, according to the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Mr Reitzle was CEO of Linde between 2003-14 and turned the gas and equipment supplier to a world market leader.

However, his appointments to the Supervisory Boards of Continental, Springer, Hawesko and Medical Park could prove an issue for his appointment at Linde. He would be expected to leave LafargeHolcim upon acceptance of the post.
