Changes in Management Board

29.03.2007

At the Supervisory Board meeting of March 29th 2007 the Supervisory
Board of Villeroy & Boch AG appointed Frank Göring (45) Management
Board spokesman with effect from June 1st 2007. He therefore succeeds
the current Management Board Chairman, Wendelin von Boch (64), who
after 40 years' service at Villeroy & Boch will become a Supervisory
Board member at the General Meeting of Shareholders on June 1st of
this year.

Following his degree in business administration, and executive
positions in the marketing department at Procter and Gamble, Reemtsma
and Hero, Frank Göring joined Villeroy & Boch in 1997 as Marketing
Director of the Bathroom and Kitchen Division. On January 1st 2005
Frank Göring was appointed member of the Villeroy & Boch Management
Board, holding responsibility for the Bathroom and Wellness Division.

With the appointment of Frank Göring to Management Board spokesman,
operative management of the two Divisions, Bathroom and Wellness and
Tableware will be transferred to Executive Committees which will
report directly to the Management Board spokesman.

Management Board member Manfred Finger retains unchanged
responsibility for the Finance and Personnel divisions, and also his
position as Director of Human Resources.

A third organisational unit - "Corporate Development" - will be set
up, in the second half of 2007, to which the departments Law,
M+A/Strategic Planning, Innovation, Engineering, Purchasing and
Revision will be assigned. This decision should, above all, promote
strategic development in the corporate globalisation process.
