Dr Raths, a member of the Arpida board since 2006, will assume his responsibilities as CEO on 1 May 2008 focusing during the first two months on deepening his knowledge of the company and getting to know Arpida's shareholders and business partners.

Dr Andre Lamotte, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Arpida Ltd., commented: "Arpida's Board, employees, shareholders and business partners owe a lot to Khalid Islam. His outstanding leadership, unwavering energy and deep knowledge have been crucial for Arpida's progress over the past nine years.
