Ivor Ichikowitz, Founder of Paramount Group stated: “Paramount Group is a unique
organisation; its ethos is based on extreme agility and innovation. It is not a 
typical manufacturing or engineering company and therefore requires a very unique
style of leadership and business acumen. We are fortunate to have someone of Steve’s
calibre and experience coming in to lead Paramount Group globally.

“Steve is a proven leader with a strong business vision who has demonstrated his
ability to bring people together and achieve results in highly competitive markets.
The opportunity ahead for Paramount is vast, and to seize it we must continue to
innovate and deliver world-leading technologies and solutions to our customers.”

Griessel who prior to his recent appointment held the position of CEO of Paramount
USA, Paramount’s US-based subsidiary, stated:

“It is an honor to take on the role of Group CEO. We are at an important milestone
in our evolution as we further globalise our operations and expand our network of
strategic partnerships with Governments and major corporations around the world.
This leadership role is critical as Paramount continues to evolve by entering new
markets, and expanding its innovations and technologies, in order to take advantage
of a substantially increasing global market for our products and services.”

“Over the last 27 years, Paramount Group has experienced exceptional growth and 
success. I had the distinct privilege in my previous role of working closely with
the Paramount family; I know their passion and commitment to innovation, engineering
excellence and customer-focused solutions.

“Together with my professional and experienced executive team, I will be focusing
on setting up the business to meet Paramount’s global ambitions. I am confident 
that we will continue to build strong industrial partnerships around the world through
our portable production model; supporting governments in meeting their economic 
development objectives. I’m looking forward to being part of a world-class team 
that delivers future-proof technologies and solutions to its customers, invests 
in its people by developing the most talented professionals into leaders, and plays
its part to improve the communities in which it operates. ”
