ALUULA Composites Inc. (TSXV: AUUA) (OTCQB: AUUAF) announced the retirement of Peter Berrang from its board of directors and the appointment of Christophe Dardel as an independent director, effective immediately.

Berrang served on the board during the company's transition from startup to commercial operations. "Peter has been a thoughtful and supportive director as ALUULA strengthened its materials platform and positioned the business for scale," said Sage Berryman, president and chief executive officer.

Dardel currently serves as director of strategic partnerships at AFYREN, a green chemistry company that has raised over €180 million since 2012, including a €70+ million IPO in 2021. He previously served as president of DSM Dyneema, manufacturer of Dyneema fiber, and was chief executive officer of synthetic biology company EnobraQ.

Earlier in his career, Dardel held senior leadership roles at DSM Biomedical, DuPont, and 3M. He also served as a board member of Nippon Dyneema Co., Ltd., a joint venture between DSM and Toyobo in Japan.

"Christophe's experience building and scaling premium global ingredient brands and IP rich materials platforms is directly aligned with ALUULA's growth strategy," Berryman said.

The Victoria, British Columbia-based company manufactures ultra-light, high-performance composite materials for outdoor gear and commercial equipment. The board noted this appointment is part of its ongoing review of board composition to support long-term growth, focusing on adding directors with experience in industrial scale-up, global partnerships, and advanced materials manufacturing.
