JSE-listed chemicals group Omnia has appointed Joseph Keenan as the new MD of its explosives division, Bulk Mining Explosives.

Group CEO Rod Humphris said in a statement to shareholders on Friday that Keenan was an accomplished international executive who has more than 20 years of global experience in the explosives industry.

“He has held executive and nonexecutive positions in North and South America, Africa and Australia. He has a successful record in the explosives sector, of managing high performance teams, being involved in start-up projects, developments, listings, strategic alliances, investments and global equity holdings,” he said.

Keenan chaired the Australian National University Centre for Latin American Studies, in Australia, and Peru Nitrates, in Latin America, and served on the boards of PHC Energy Advisory Board and two explosives joint ventures in Venezuela and Panama.

“As skills, expertise and talent are not easy to secure in the competitive environment in which we operate, we are delighted that Joseph will be joining the Omnia team and look forward to his contribution,” concluded Humphris.
