Change in management

Francis Cholley takes the reins at SWISSPACER

As of 1st March 2022, there had been a change in executive management at warm edge manufacturer SWISSPACER. Victoria Renz-Kiefel assumes responsibility for the position of “Director Systems and Solutions” at Saint-Gobain Germany. Her successor at SWISSPACER is Francis Cholley.  

Victoria Renz-Kiefel took over the management of SWISSPACER in spring 2020. She steered SWISSPACER safely through the coronavirus crisis and has laid the foundations for many important transformations. “Working together as a team, we have been able to initiate many things to put the company on a sound footing for the future, such as our new CRM or the development of the sustainability strategy,” says Renz-Kiefel. In her new role at Saint-Gobain, she will be promoting cross-brand collaboration in consulting for investors, architects and planners.

Francis Cholley, who has been with Saint-Gobain for 28 years, has taken over the position of managing director from 1st March 2022. He has worked in various positions and organisations, most recently in the Asian region. He gained many years of experience, lately at SageGlass, the specialist for electrochromic glazing. In his first few weeks, he will be managing SWISSPACER together with Victoria Renz-Kiefel to ensure a smooth transition.  

“SWISSPACER is a global player offering high added value and supplies a key component for energy-efficient window and façade solutions,” comments Cholley. “The first impression I got from the team, which is very customer-centric and truly dedicated, is impressive. I have managed many businesses at Saint-Gobain, but SWISSPACER is one of a kind. I look forward to continuing on the outstanding course set by Victoria Renz-Kiefel.”
