Riber S.A. of Bezons, France – which manufactures molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) systems as well as evaporation sources and effusion cells – says that its Supervisory Board (chaired by Didier Cornardeau) has appointed Philippe Ley as CEO and a member of the management board, as proposed by the Appointments and Compensation Committee as part of the drive to further strengthen the management board (which now has three members, including chairman Michel Picault and Guillaume de Bélair).

Ley is an Ecole Nationale Supérieur d’Arts et Métiers (ENSAM) engineer. After starting his career with Assystem in 1994, he held executive positions with Renault Automation (1997-2001) then Comau France (2001-2007). From 2007 to 2015, he was production director, operations director and a management board member with Riber. Since 2015, he has been managing director and a corporate officer at ERCA (a subsidiary of the IMA industrial group).

Together with his knowledge of Riber and a track record of implementing his capabilities in various executive roles to date, Ley’s experience and entrepreneurial approach represent assets to continue building the firm’s future, reckons Riber. His mission will be to support the firm’s development in a buoyant market environment.
