Generation change at suissetec with Dennis Reichardt
With the election of Dennis Reichardt as the new Central President, suissetec is implementing a carefully prepared change in leadership that combines personnel continuity and strategic renewal. At the same time, the association is relying on a strengthened, broad-based Central Executive Board team to steer the building technology sector through energy and climate policy transformations.
Dennis Reichardt has been involved in the association for almost two decades and, as an entrepreneur with 120 employees in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and plumbing sectors, brings a strong practical focus to the table. His “idée suisse” combines the ambition to position suissetec as a driver of energy efficiency and renewable solutions with a clear commitment to cooperation across all language regions.
With a focus on quality, promoting young talent and cohesion, Reichardt wants to lead the association in a phase in which building technology plays a key role in achieving climate targets and decarbonizing the building stock. For the industry, this means continuing along the same path, but with an even stronger focus on innovation, the development of skilled workers and an integrated systems approach.
Continuity through honorary presidency and rolling planning
With the transition of Daniel Huser to the honorary presidency, suissetec remains closely linked to a leader who has shaped the association for over eleven years and consistently promoted cross-trade thinking. His leadership style, which is interdisciplinary, cooperative and focused on the overall benefit of the industry, forms a frame of reference for the new presidency.
At the same time, the gradual renewal of the Board of Directors ensures institutional stability. With clearly planned handovers of office and term limits, know-how is passed on continuously without slowing down the impetus for renewal. In this way, suissetec is positioning itself as an association that thinks long-term, plans ahead in terms of personnel and at the same time remains open to new faces and perspectives.
