Hansen will leave Hempel no later than June 30, 2026.

Sand added, “The Board has full confidence in Michael’s and the management team’s continued ability to ensure continued execution of our strategic priorities during this transition. Hempel remains dedicated to its strategy, and fully focused on delivering value for our customers and stakeholders.”
