Change announced for IWMA’s Board of Directors
05 December 2025
THE INTERNATIONAL Water Mist Association’s (IWMA) articles state that member companies and institutions nominating a member of staff to serve on the IWMA’s Board of Directors may appoint an interim member for that Board if their employee should leave the company or the institution.

Given that IWMA director Robert Mostad (representing RISE Norway) will be moving on to new pastures, his colleague Kristian Hox will take over his position on the IWMA’s Board of Directors.
Commenting on this news, Kristian Hox observed: “I have always believed that the IWMA and its conferences play a significant role in advancing water mist technology. As a member of the Board of Directors, I will aim to position the IWMA as a driving force for innovation in the domain of water mist technology and elevate the latter’s global recognition as a sustainable solution for fire protection.”
Kristian Hox must be confirmed in office during the next IWMA member meeting, which will take place in October 2026. Voting right are on hold until that point.
Robert Mostad was elected as a member of the Board in 2023. The IWMA’s Board of Directors would like to thank Robert for his valuable input and contributions and wish him all the best for the future.
The 25th International Water Mist Conference takes place at the Grand Hotel International in Prague on 7-8 October 2026.
