Lebronze alloys (“LBA”), a global leader in the advanced materials market, changes its governance to better address the new challenges of its development and announces the appointment of Marie de Saint Salvy as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Group with effect from 9 September 2025.
Headquartered in France, LBA offers a wide range of specialty copper and nickel alloys, each with combined properties such as thermal conductivity, ability to withstand friction, and electrical performance, making them critical components in a large variety of systems and end-markets, including aerospace, medical devices, energy, electronics, and luxury, serving over 1,000 customers worldwide.
In 2024, LBA welcomed Astorg, a leading pan-European private equity firm, as a majority shareholder to accelerate its growth plans, notably through targeted acquisitions. With Astorg’s support, LBA is expanding globally and reinforcing its leadership position with a focus on quality, innovation, and customer service.
Marie de Saint Salvy, 45, succeeds Michel Dumont as CEO of LBA. She brings to the company nearly 15 years of international industrial experience, with a proven track record of business development and successfully integrating complex acquisitions.
Marie has in fact spent five years in operations and programs at NAVAL GROUP, then five years at SAFRAN during the integration of ZODIAC SEATS, where she managed After-Sales Division. She then managed CS GROUP until its integration with SOPRA STERIA in 2023, before joining SCALIAN to implement a key accounts strategy.
A former student of the École Normale Supérieure and the École Nationale d’Administration, Marie began her career at the Defense Ministry.
Michel Dumont, who remains Chairman of LBA’s Supervisory Board, commented: “We are very pleased, together with the Astorg team and the management team, to welcome Marie at the helm of the Group. At this stage in its history, the company deserves to be led by someone capable of strengthening its international scope and supporting an ambitious acquisition program”.
Alexandra Dumont Nubery retains the role of Chief Operations Officer of the Group.
