New VIPA International President announced

We are pleased to announce the new VIPA Executive Board for the 2026–2027 term

President: Michel Chauvois (Rexor)
Vice President: Sebastian Baars (Vaku-Isotherm)

Both were elected during the VIPA meeting held in conjunction with the VIPA x GSH General Assembly in Lüneburg. We look forward to working with Michel and Sebastian to further strengthen VIPA as the international platform for vacuum insulation panels—driving collaboration across the value chain, supporting standards and advocacy priorities, and increasing member value through webinars, studies and working groups.

We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Vladimir Pogač (Turvac) for his leadership as VIPA President over the past two years. Together with Sebastian Baars in his role as Vice President, Vladimir’s commitment, ideas and tireless engagement laid a strong foundation for VIPA to grow and expand its activities.

Please join us in congratulating the new Executive Board and thanking Vladimir for his outstanding service to the association.
