Several years ago, Hytech—originally a spin‑off from Royal IHC—was acquired by a group of investors together with Pommec Diving Equipment. The successful integration of both companies resulted in the current Hytech‑Pommec: an organization with a global top‑three position and a broad portfolio of products and services in hyperbaric technology. The post‑merger integration has now been fully completed.

During this period, the company has demonstrated strong growth across the sectors in which it operates: medical, tunnelling, commercial diving, governmental & defense, life support, and yachting. With the appointment of Joris Vogels, Hytech‑Pommec underscores its commitment to further professionalization and continued growth. His intensive involvement in the organization over the past months ensures a careful and seamless leadership transition.

Incoming CEO Joris Vogels commented: “I am excited to lead Hytech‑Pommec into this next phase. We have deep expertise, a talented and committed team, and a solid position in several attractive and growing markets. Together, we will continue to invest in quality, innovation, and sustainable growth. I am proud to carry this forward with our entire team.”

Outgoing CEO and Shareholder Eric Lamkin said: “I am proud of the steps we have taken in recent years: from two independent companies to one strong and future‑proof organization. Joris brings the vision and energy that fit the next phase of growth. I will remain involved as a shareholder and have great confidence in the path ahead.”
