Nobel Biocare chairman to leave by March 2010-paper

Nobel Biocare Chairman Rolf Soiron will step down at the Swiss dental implant maker's next annual general meeting in March next year at the latest, he was quoted on Saturday as saying in an interview.

Soiron, who is also the chairman of cement maker Holcim and drugs industry supplier Lonza, said he now wants to focus more on organisations such as think-tank Avenir Suisse, of which he is president, and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
