Other members of the committee, also unanimously re-elected, are Florian Koch (Wilfried Koch KG), Roland Reigbert (furwa Furnier-kanten GmbH), Edmund Smolarek (BaltiSpoon/Möhring Gruppe), Heinrich Wehmeyer (Furnierwerk Wehmeyer) and Tobias Scherg (Roser AG). Rares Felder (frischeis) was also re-elected to the IFN executive committee in his absence. Marina Röhr (europlac/Röhr GmbH) was elected as a new committee member. The Chairman, Axel Groh, thanked those present for the trust they had once again shown.
In recent years, the IFN has presented itself very successfully at trade fairs and other events. For example, this year the IFN was at the imm cologne in January and at the interzum in May. It was also a sponsor of the North German trainee competition “Wood moves” ("Holz bewegt”) in Hamburg. Due to the extremely pleasing re-sponse, it was decided at the general meeting that the IFN should continue to have a strong trade fair presence in the future.
VeneerStories extremely successful on social me-dia
Five years ago, the “VeneerStories” (“FurnierGeschichten”) cam-paign was started, which since then has developed extremely well, especially on social media. More than 2 million people have been reached on the campaign's Facebook channel since June 2014. There are now more than 33 films on the YouTube channel, which have been viewed around 370,000 times in total. The most recently published was the animation film “How veneer is made” which, two weeks after it was published, had already achieved more than 6,400 views. The English version of the film has already achieved more than 6,700 views.
At the end of the event, participants divided into two workshop groups to discuss how the association should develop thematically in the medium-term. IFN/RK
