Peter Mita new Euralarm President
He succeeds Jon Könz who was President for the past 3 years. Peter Mita is Southern Europe Commercial leader of Honeywell Fire.
The 2024 General Assembly was held in Prague where the outgoing President praised among others the work that was done in information sharing, supporting members with regulatory expertise, guiding standardisation processes with the work in technical committees and liaisons. Euralarm succeeded in aligning opinions and developing clear priorities shared across the whole scope of the industries represented by Euralarm: product and system manufacturers, installers, integrators, service providers, and national associations from all over Europe.
Under Euralarm’s umbrella model, different industry disciplines are represented by distinct Sections with separate membership, but they work together in their high-level dialogue with institutional players and other European stakeholders.
The General Assembly also elected Christian Schmitz (Honeywell) as chair of the Fire section, Brian Cunningham (Drax 360) as vice chair of the Services section, Victoria Ferrera Lopez (Verisure) as chair of the Advocacy Committee and Rodger Reiswig (JCI) as chair of the Horizontal Compliance Committee.
The full board of Euralarm now exists of Alan Elder and Gerd Hülsen (chair and vice chair Extinguishing section), Christian Schmitz and Neil Budd (chair and vice chair of Fire section), Oscar Feijo Jimenez and Milan Ceeh (chair and vice chair of Security Section), Robert Thilthorpe and Brian Cunningham (chair and vice chair of Services section), Victoria Ferrera Lopez (chair Advocacy Committee), Rodger Reiswig (chair Horizontal Compliance Committee), Anja Schäfers (chair Marketing Committee) and Nikolaos Stamoulis (chair Finance Committee).
