Viktor Voroncov is to leave Layher Baltic UAB at the end of January, bringing to a close a 15-year career with the company.
In a post on LinkedIn, Voroncov said 30 January would be his final day with the Baltic business, describing his time at Layher as “the best 15 years of my life”.
He paid tribute to the wider Layher organisation, including its headquarters team in Eibensbach and manufacturing staff across the group’s factories, crediting them with delivering what he described as industry-leading quality and innovation.
Reflecting on product development, Voroncov highlighted the launch of the LW lightweight components, admitting initial scepticism about customer demand before uptake quickly proved otherwise. He said customers across the region rapidly adopted the system, reinforcing his belief in continued investment in research and development.
Voroncov also thanked Layher customers and partners across the Baltic region and beyond, citing long-term relationships, complex projects and landmark schemes delivered by joint teams.
A significant part of his tenure has been his involvement in ScaffChamp, which he described as a global industry initiative rather than a personal project. He said the competition had helped bring together scaffolding professionals from around the world while encouraging younger people to enter the sector.
He noted strong international interest in the event, including engagement from attendees at World of Concrete, and confirmed he plans to attend ScaffChamp in Vilnius on 5–6 June.
Voroncov also referenced his ongoing connection to Ukraine, stating that he intends to continue working with partners there and supporting efforts during what he described as a difficult period for the country.
He closed by thanking the Layher Baltic team, highlighting a workplace culture built around openness, professional development and employee involvement in decision-making.
No details have yet been announced regarding his next role.
