Küsthardt, a Ph.D. chemist, has worked for the firm since 1997, most recently as head of its coatings and additives business. He replaces industry veteran Peter Nagler, who takes up a new role to “internationalize” the company’s innovation activities. Evonik says it has increased R&D spending by 9% annually since 2009 to $540 million in 2013.
