During the 2024 General Assembly of Euralarm in Prague, the members chose Peter Mita as the new President of Euralarm. He succeeds Jon Könz who was President for the past three years. Peter Mita is the Southern Europe Commercial leader of Honeywell Fire. 

​2024 General Assembly

The 2024 General Assembly was held in Prague where the outgoing President praised among others the work that was done in information sharing, supporting members with regulatory expertise, and guiding standardisation processes with the work in technical committees and liaisons.

Euralarm succeeded in aligning opinions and developing clear priorities shared across the whole scope of the industries represented by Euralarm: product and system manufacturers, installers, integrators, service providers, and national associations from all over Europe. Under Euralarm’s umbrella model, different industry disciplines are represented by distinct sections with separate memberships, but they work together in their high-level dialogue with institutional players and other European stakeholders.
