When Euromaintenance comes to Luleå in June 2026, it will not only mark a new geographic destination for Europe’s flagship maintenance conference but also signal a decisive moment for the profession itself. According to EFNMS Chair Diego Galar, this event is designed to reposition maintenance and asset management as strategic drivers of industrial performance, resilience, and sustainability.

Maintworld asked EFHMS key leaders to describe their main objectives for 2026. Together, the answers highlight a shared focus on people, competence, and collaboration, while reflecting the specific roles of each committee and the federation.

Introducing the EFNMS European Certification Committee (ECC) and its mission to elevate maintenance professionalism across Europe.

Since its founding in 1989, the Belgian Maintenance Association (BEMAS) has played a leading role in advancing maintenance, reliability, and asset management across Belgium.

As convenor of the EFNMS Body of Knowledge, Antoine Despujols is on a mission to create a unified European maintenance culture. The comprehensive publication defines the scope and best practices of maintenance across Europe – and it’s available for free. But more importantly, it’s changing how we think about the profession itself.
