The International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA) has announced a new-look executive board for 2020, under chairman Dr Paul Dunn, pictured. The trade body forecasts more integration of holograms alongside other authentication and track and trace technologies in the next 12 months.
Rajan Thomas has been elected to oversee operations across Asia. Anton Goncharsky, and Manoj Kochar are elected with responsibility for the Eastern Europe/FSA and CIS region, and ASPA (Authentication Solution Providers’ Association) in India, respectively.
Joanne Ogden will continue to represent the EU and EFTA region, while Brad Hilbert (America region) and Prof SeungHyun Lee (South Korea and Hologram Forum) remain on the board together with Alessio Pastorelli and Corinne Murcia Giudicelli.
The IHMA is unveiling a new mission statement that will see it expand the scope of current operations, embracing the widest range of commercial holographic activity.
Dr Paul Dunn said: “Innovation is pushing the boundaries of what holographic technology can achieve, reflecting that there is plenty of mileage in holography. I’m very much looking forward to the challenge of taking the IHMA forward and working with members and organisations to ensure it remains a strong advocate and resource for the industry in the future.”
