A thought leader and industry expert ends committee chairmanship in the BVZi

With his departure as Managing Director of Röben Tonbaustoffe GmbH and joining Grothe Rohstoffe GmbH & Co. KG, Ralf Borrmann also stepped down as Chairman of the Roof Tile (DZ) and Facing Brick & Clinker (V&K) Committees of the Federal Association of the German Brick and Tile Industry (BVZi).

On 27 March 2025 in Würzburg, Borrmann was dismissed from the DZ committee, which he had chaired since 2019, by David Ostendorf, Technical Managing Director of the BVZI, and on 9 April in Osnabrück from the V&K committee, which he had chaired since 2022, by Juliane Nisse, Head of Thermal Insulation, Energy Efficiency and Sustainability.

Both emphasised his technical expertise and personal commitment, for example in the development of product standards for brick slips and for the integration of PV and solar systems on roofs, and thanked him for his work for the industry and his passion for bricks.
