Chairman of the Board Anders Brännström says; "I am pleased to be able to hand over to Christer Simrén. ChromoGenics is in an exciting phase with the recent acquisition of I-Window, which broadens the company's product offering, as well as that a number of interesting projects are in final negotiations with high probability to be realized into orders. With Christer's solid background and experience to create growth in a complex and technology-based business, I am convinced that he will be able to further develop what the company has established during a start-up period with significant challenges "

"I am honored to take over as Chairman of the Board in this exciting phase where ChromoGenics resides. This year's extremely hot summer in Scandinavia has definitely shown a need for the company's products with solar control in façade glass and windows. There are good opportunities to evolve the momentum that the company has, both in customer relations and in improved quality following the technical challenges that have been during the initial stage of commercialization," says Christer Simrén. "I look forward to working with ChromoGenics’ Board and Management team to take the next step in the company's growth journey, focusing on product quality and energy saving as well as comfort-enhancing customer solutions."
