EBPC announces new leadership

EBPC’s Sebastian Kutzner has stepped down, as Gemar’s Gloria Veta joins as chair, with a new steering committee.

The European Balloon & Party Council is marking a significant transition as it announces new leadership and reflects on its shared journey.

After years of dedicated service, chair, Sebastian Kutzner, has stepped down from his role. His exceptional technical expertise, balanced leadership and commitment to the EBPC have been instrumental in shaping the organisation.

EBPC commented: “We extend our heartfelt thanks to Sebastian for his invaluable contributions and wish him well as he takes a well-earned break.”

In line with the association’s planned three-year rotation, it is welcoming a newly elected steering committee:

– Gloria Veta (Gemar) as chair (pictured centre)
– Julie Dommett (Anagram Europe) as vice chair
– Dominik Czermak (Gummiwerk) as treasurer

Each brings unparalleled experience and passion, and the association is confident they will guide the EBPC through the opportunities and challenges ahead.

Gloria commented: “Our industry is poised for growth and innovation and by working together, we can achieve remarkable progress. Through focused leadership, collaboration, and clear priorities, the EBPC will continue to drive meaningful change and deliver tangible value to our members.

“I am excited to lead this journey alongside such a dedicated team, as we shape a brighter, more sustainable future for our industry.”

The council said: “This transition is a pivotal moment for the EBPC. With the collective support of our executive and steering committees, we are ready to tackle critical issues such as legislative and environmental challenges, ensuring our industry thrives while embracing sustainability and innovation.

“To our valued members, your engagement and collaboration are the foundation of our success. Together, we will navigate the complexities of today’s landscape and continue building a resilient, dynamic industry.”
