'After nearly five incredible years, I have stepped down from my role as CEO of Mater,' says Ketil Årdal in a LinkedIn post. 'It has been a true privilege to work alongside such talented colleagues, partners, and customers who share a commitment to innovation and genuine sustainability. Together, we've taken important steps to evolve Mater into a unique green tech design company, strengthening our technology, expanding our offering, and bringing our vision closer to reality.' Afterwards, he thanks a few colleagues as well.

Ketil Årdal continues: I'm now excited to begin the next chapter. Effective March 20, 2026, I joined Nowy Styl as President & CEO. Nowy Styl has built an impressive international position in creating inspiring work environments and delivering quality solutions for offices and public spaces. I'm grateful for the trust placed in me to lead the company into its next chapter.
What excites me most is the opportunity to work alongside the talented teams across our international organization, continue strengthening our partnerships with customers, and drive innovation in how workplaces and public spaces are designed and experienced.
The world of work is evolving rapidly, and Nowy Styl is uniquely positioned to shape what comes next. I look forward to building on the company's strong foundation while exploring new opportunities for profitable growth and impact.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far - I'm looking forward to what we will achieve together.'
