BLUE CREST HOLDING SA

About BLUE CREST HOLDING SA

Blue Crest Holding SA is a holding company linked to the Kyriacopoulos family and a significant shareholder of Imerys. In Imerys’ governance framework, Blue Crest is represented on the board by Paris Kyriacopoulos, who has served as a director of Imerys since May 10, 2021. This representation highlights Blue Crest’s long-term role within the company’s core shareholder base. Through Imerys, Blue Crest Holding SA sits close to the governance of a large listed industrial group with a diversified international footprint. Its influence is exercised primarily at board level, where it contributes to discussions on corporate governance, capital structure, and strategic oversight. In practice, Blue Crest is part of the stable shareholder bloc that supports continuity and long-term decision-making, alongside the group’s controlling shareholder Belgian Securities BV. Blue Crest’s relationship with Imerys is rooted in a long-standing family and industrial connection. In Imerys’ reference documents, Blue Crest Holding SA is described as a Luxembourg-based company owned and controlled by the Greek Kyriacopoulos family. That position gives it a meaningful role in shaping the governance dialogue around strategic priorities, financial discipline, and portfolio allocation. In the context of modern listed-company governance, Blue Crest Holding SA can be viewed as a quiet but influential reference shareholder. Its contribution is less about day-to-day management and more about stewardship: supporting continuity, preserving strategic consistency, and helping guide the company through medium- and long-term decisions. At Imerys, that role is especially relevant for a global industrial minerals leader operating in cyclical markets and facing constant demands in operational performance, capital allocation, and ESG execution.
