“We are very pleased to welcome Sasu to Sparklike’s Board,” says Tapio Volanen, Chair of the Board. “His deep understanding of the global glass industry and his leadership experience in technology-driven organizations will be a strong asset for Sparklike, particularly as IGU manufacturers place increasing emphasis on automation, quality assurance, and verified performance.”

“Sparklike’s technology is highly relevant in today’s market,” says Mr. Koivumäki. “As insulating glass manufacturers face higher performance requirements, tighter specifications, and increasing regulatory scrutiny, accurate and non-invasive gas fill verification becomes essential. I look forward to supporting Sparklike as it continues to expand its global footprint and deliver value to manufacturers worldwide.”
