Peikko is actively taking part in the development and harmonization work of the building industry: Peikko Group’s CEO has been nominated as the Chairman of the ECS association.

The European Engineered Construction Systems Association e.V. (ECS) is a professional alliance dedicated to high-grade solutions for reinforced concrete construction techniques in Europe. Its spectrum ranges from active committee work to comprehensive service activities (product information, application aids, and information about new developments in all areas of fixing, reinforcing and façade systems) and the presentation of modern construction techniques. More information of the association can be found at www.ecs-association.com.

The ECS has eleven member companies from around Europe, and the organization’s headquarters of the organization are located in Düsseldorf, Germany. The work of the association is mostly done in technical working groups, working on e.g. European-wide norms and standards. Peikko Group has been a member of ECS since 2010, and is actively participating in several technical working groups. In April 2018, Peikko Group’s CEO Topi Paananen was nominated as Chairman of the association for a fixed term of two years.

“High-level technical co-operation on norms and standards on European level is a must, also in the construction field. I am honored to serve our industry during the coming two years in this position of trust at ECS,” comments Topi Paananen.

Being a forerunner in the industry is not something taken for granted. It is a position to be earned through active research and development, innovative inventiveness, hard work, continuous seek for information, and hunger for more. Staying tuned to the industry is a must for a forerunner. We at Peikko are determined to do so.
