Our industry is going through a phase of transformation, and I intend to continue the work of the outgoing president with a renewed commitment to sustainability and improving the reputation of the laminate industry. The goal is to strengthen the role of our industry within the European Renovation Wave initiative and the Affordable Housing Strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fabian K\u00f6lliker also expressed satisfaction with his appointment to the Board of Directors: \u201cThis is an exciting time for our industry.
