Mr. Lacour, who represents the French organisation EVOLIS and serves as President of the French pump manufacturer SOMEFLU and CHABOT, was unanimously elected during Europump’s General Assembly held in Prague in May. His appointment reflects the strong confidence of Europump’s membership in his leadership and strategic vision for the industry.

During the meeting, outgoing President Lubos Michlik was warmly thanked for his commitment and achievements, notably for launching a comprehensive strategy revision and for establishing a new sponsorship program that will support Europump’s long-term growth and visibility.

In his acceptance remarks, Alexandre Lacour stated:
“I am honoured to take on this new role. My goal is to strengthen the voice of Europump at EU level, through fostering a closer cooperation and better knowledge exchange between our members across Europe. There is a lot at stake and we wish to remain front runners in providing sustainable solutions in an EU regulatory environment supporting competitiveness, innovation and high quality industrial products.”

Mr. Lacour will be supported in his presidency by two Vice-Presidents, Markus Holmberg of Xylem, representing the Swedish Pump Manufacturers Association (SWEPUMP) and Jim Wall of Sulzer Ireland, representing the British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA).

Together, they will guide Europump in advancing its mission to promote innovation, sustainability, and industrial excellence across the European pump industry.
