FRX Innovations, a developer and manufacturer of environmentally sustainable flame-retardant additives, has announced the appointment of Patrick Muezers to its board of directors.
Muezers has over 20 years of experience in building and growing specialty chemical companies globally. Most recently, he successfully completed an M&A transaction for Polyscope Polymers B.V., a European specialty plastics company that he founded and grew through to a successful exit.
During his tenure as managing director of Polyscope, Muezers attracted a senior leadership team and a board of directors with deep market expertise. He currently also serves on the advisory board of Arion, and previously served for seven years on the board of RAI Automotive Group.
Muezers said: “I am very excited to join the FRX Innovation board of directors. The dedication of the FRX team to serve and support its global customer base with the introduction of the highly innovative Nofia product range, complemented by a state-of-the-art asset, gives me great energy to take part in FRX’s growth as it drives the global change towards halogen- and PFAS-free solutions in polymer systems where the market never expected to be possible.”
As a result of his growing commitments as CEO of Platinum Group Metals, contemporaneously with the appointment of Patrick Muezers, Frank Hallam will be transitioning from the FRX board of directors, where he served as director and chair of the company’s audit committee. Hallam said: “It has been a true pleasure serving as a director at FRX Innovations. The company has an exciting future ahead and I wish the FRX board and team the best in its growth plans."
FRX is in commercial production at its fully permitted facility in Antwerp, Belgium, where it currently supplies Nofia Flame Retardant Polymers to a growing number of multinational OEMs around the world.
