I look forward to working closely with Dave during the transition and continuing to support him in my role as Executive Chair."
"Bertrand’s vision and leadership have shaped Entegris into the global industry leader it is today," said James F. Gentilcore, Lead Independent Director, Entegris Board. "Under his leadership and through a rapidly evolving technological and geopolitical landscape, Entegris’ revenue and market capitalization grew nearly five times and over 10 times, respectively. On behalf of the Board, I want to express our immense gratitude for his two decades of service, his continued commitment to the Company, and the solid foundation he leaves behind."
Mr. Gentilcore continued, "The Board recognizes that succession planning is one of its most critical duties. After careful consideration of internal and external candidates, we are confident that Dave is the ideal leader for this moment in Entegris’ evolution.

"I am grateful for the Board’s confidence in me to lead Entegris into its next phase of growth," Mr. Reeder said. "As a director, I have seen firsthand the organization’s commitment to continuous improvement, creativity and the quest for excellence in all we do.
