The Supervisory Board of Tata Steel Nederland (TSN) today announces that Herman Dijkhuizen will join the Supervisory Board of TSN as of 1 September 2024. The appointment of Mr. Dijkhuizen has been made upon the recommendation by  the Central Works Council (COR) of Tata Steel Nederland.

Herman Dijkhuizen succeeds Marius Jonkhart, who has been a member and vice-chairman of the Supervisory Board since 1 January 2006 and chairman of the Audit Committee since its establishment. As member of the Supervisory Board, Herman Dijkhuizen will become the new Chairman of the Audit Committee.

T.V. Narendran, Chairman of the TSN Supervisory Board: “We look forward to welcoming Herman Dijkhuizen as a new member of the Supervisory Board of Tata Steel Nederland and Chairman of the Audit Committee. Herman has a strong financial background and is a seasoned supervisor who, at companies such as the railway company Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) and Dutch telecommunications company KPN, has demonstrated his in-depth experience in weighing the interests of multiple stakeholders during transitions and times of change.  At the same time we would like to thank Marius Jonkhart for his 18-year tenure as member of TSN’s  Supervisory Board. Marius’s contribution has been of great importance, with his analytical thinking, strong financial knowledge and deep understanding of governance.

Herman Dijkhuizen: “Tata Steel Nederland is an important employer in the IJmond region, a major contributor to the Dutch economy and a key player in the European steel industry. It makes it special to be appointed upon the recommendation by the Central Works Council. The current transition towards a sustainable way of producing steel is a big challenge and a fundamental step for Tata Steel Nederland and all its stakeholders, including the TSN employees. I am looking forward to contribute, in my role as member of the Supervisory Board, to this transition and the normal course of business.“
