Sparklike, a global leader in non-destructive gas measurement solutions for insulating glass units (IGUs), has announced the appointment of Sasu Koivumäki to its Board of Directors. The move marks a strategic step as Sparklike continues to strengthen its position in an IGU market increasingly focused on automation, verified performance, and consistent quality control.

His career spans senior executive roles at Glaston Corporation, one of the world’s leading suppliers of glass processing machinery and solutions. During his tenure, he served as Deputy CEO and held leadership positions across operations, sales, strategy, and business development, playing a key role in scaling advanced manufacturing technologies across global markets.
