HIMA appoints new Vice President for Middle East region

HIMA Group has announced the appointment of Dr Jean-François Trottier as Vice President for the Middle East region, effective December 1, 2025.
The move reflects the Group’s strategic focus on strengthening its presence in one of its most important growth markets while expanding its reach
into India and Africa.

In his new role, Dr Trottier will lead HIMA’s regional growth strategy, focusing on deepening customer partnerships, expanding market presence, and
supporting the region’s transformation through advanced functional safety and operational technology (OT) security solutions. The Middle East
remains a key driver of HIMA’s long-term development, supported by strong demand from sectors such as oil and gas, energy transition, petrochemicals
and critical infrastructure.

Dr Trottier brings more than 30 years of international experience in business leadership, innovation and global project delivery. His career is marked by a
strong technical background and an entrepreneurial approach, with extensive leadership experience across the Gulf region, including senior positions within
a German family-owned enterprise.

Commenting on his appointment, Dr Trottier said: “HIMA has built an unmatched reputation as an independent and reliable provider of industrial safety
automation. With decades of experience protecting critical infrastructure, supporting major oil and gas producers, petrochemical facilities and expanding
rail projects, the Group remains committed to operational security and excellence. I am honoured to join HIMA and look forward to working closely with
our partners and teams to drive sustainable growth.”

Jörg de la Motte, Chief Executive Officer of HIMA Group, welcomed the appointment, saying: “We are delighted to have Dr Jean-François Trottier take on

this key leadership role. The Middle East is a pivotal market for HIMA, particularly due to rising demand for advanced safety solutions. His deep
understanding of the region positions him well to strengthen customer relationships and advance our ambition to be a trusted safety and security partner
across multiple industries.” ×
