At its Annual General Meeting on 16 May 2017, the German Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Association (ZVKKW) elected TZWL CEO Dr. Meinolf Gringel as Vice President.
“I am delighted with the trust placed in me by my colleagues in the ZVKKW,” says Dr. Gringel, “and I look forward to the interesting tasks that this honorary position entails. I consider the promotion and further development of refrigeration, air conditioning and heating technology to be a very important task in every respect.”
In addition to Dr. Gringel, the delegates from the specialist areas elected Claus-Dieter Penno as the new President of the ZVKKW. Heribert Baumeister, who was elected last year from the skilled trades division and will hold office for a further two years, will also serve as Vice President.
In addition to his activities as head of the refrigeration, air conditioning and heating technology testing department at DMT GmbH & Co. KG in Essen and as chairman of the board of TZWL, Dr. Gringel is also a publicly appointed and sworn expert for technical issues relating to refrigeration systems by the Dortmund Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
TZWL has been a member of the ZVKKW since the beginning of 2017 and is assigned to the Operators, Science & Education division. The interest group is interested in representing the entire value chain of the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump sector. Members from the areas of trade, industry, commerce, operators, science and educational institutions work together actively to promote and further develop refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump technology from a technical, economic, ecological and political perspective at national and European level.
