Change in the management of va-Q-tec Thermal Solutions GmbH: Dr. Joachim Kuhn hands over the CEO position to Julian Ehlert as of 01.04.2025<\/h3>\n

va-Q-tec Thermal Solutions GmbH, a leading manufacturer of vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) and supplier of thermal transport packaging, announces an important change in the company’s management. Dr. Joachim Kuhn, founder and long-standing CEO of the company, will transfer his operational role as CEO and thus initiate the change in top management. Julian Ehlert, an expert with many years of experience in the consulting sector and a broad industry perspective, who has already become very familiar with the company in 2023\/2024 and its key strategic partner Envirotainer in his previous roles, will be appointed as the new CEO on April 1, 2025.<\/p>\n

After a joint induction and transition phase, Dr. Joachim Kuhn will withdraw from day-to-day operations, but will remain with the company in an important strategic and supportive role on the Advisory Board.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bernd Scheifele, Chairman of the Advisory Board: \u201cWith his visionary leadership and tireless commitment, Dr. Joachim Kuhn has turned va-Q-tec into a globally recognized company since its foundation. His contribution to technological development and his entrepreneurial vision have had a lasting impact on the company. On behalf of the entire Advisory Board, I would like to thank him for his outstanding work as CEO and am delighted that he will remain with va-Q-tec in a strategic role and continue to hold a significant stake in the company through the Founders’ Pool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Joachim Kuhn: \u201cAfter 25 years as founder and CEO, I would now like to take the opportunity of the now almost completed company transformation to hand over the reins to a strong and competent team headed by Julian Ehlert. I would like to continue to support the company, which is very close to my heart as founder and as a major shareholder, in another role and provide advice and assistance. I have come to know Julian Ehlert as a proven expert with a broad industry perspective and special strategic skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julian Ehlert: \u201cI am looking forward to shaping the future of va-Q-tec together with the team. Dr. Kuhn has created a company that stands for quality, innovation and excellence. I will build on this foundation and continue to drive va-Q-tec forward together with the employees.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
