Wolfgang Zaremski is ASERCOM president

BELGIUM: Wolfgang Zaremski, president of VDKF, the German refrigeration and air conditioning contractors’ association, has been appointed president of ASERCOM.

MD of German refrigeration and air conditioning distributor Frigo-Sol, Zaremski replaces Claude Blanc who retired from the role at the European component manufacturers’ association at the end of last year.

“In times of profound changes and unsurpassed challenges for the refrigeration industry we are glad to have such an experienced person on board,”  said ASERCOM board chairman Rainer Grosse-Kracht. “Wolfgang Zaremski’s knowledge and experience gained in different leadership positions in the HVACR industry will help tremendously to bridge between trade and industry and further develop ASERCOM.”

Zaremski has been president of the VDKF since 2012. He is also treasurer of European contractors’ group AREA.

The VDKF, itself, became an associate member of ASERCOM in 2015.
