May 10 (Reuters) - British industrial technology company Smiths Group Plc (SMIN.L) on Wednesday named Steve Williams as its next chairman to succeed George Buckley, who is retiring at the end of the company's annual general meeting in November. UK-born Williams, who is currently chair of U.S. aluminum producer Alcoa Corporation (AA.N), started his career at ExxonMobil. His appointment at Smiths Group is subject to his election as non-executive director at the company's AGM. He will be appointed to the board as an independent non-executive director and as chair designate in September, Smiths Group said.
