Exhibitor Spotlight: Viking EMEA

Paul Southwood, Business Development Manager at Viking EMEA, talks about his love for family time and golf, his dream trip to Japan, and why he’s excited about Viking’s eco-friendly 1% SFFF foam. He also shares what he’s most looking forward to at next year’s StocExpo.
What did you enjoy most about StocExpo 2025?

I really enjoyed the diversity of visitors coming from many countries. It gave a special atmosphere to the exhibition.

What are you most looking forward to at StocExpo 2026?

I’m really looking forward to meeting new potential customers and explaining our products to them, as well as how we can support their projects and specific requirements.

If you could fly to any country tomorrow, where would you go and why?

I would definitely choose Japan, as I’ve never been there. The culture is so interesting, and the food seems delicious. I like the contrast it offers, mixing modernity in cities like Tokyo with tradition in places like Kyoto and its temples.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Don’t waste your time worrying about the things you cannot change.

What’s one thing you’re really passionate about outside of work?

This is an easy question, my family is definitely my passion. I love spending time with them, whether it’s golfing, biking, going to the park, or simply enjoying a nice meal together.

If you could switch lives with someone for a day, who would it be?

Tiger Woods! I’d love to experience what it’s like to play golf at his level and spend the whole day out on the course. It would be amazing to see how a top professional thinks, trains, and handles the game under pressure.

What’s an industry trend or innovation that you’re excited about?

The new 1% SFFF low-viscosity foam! It delivers high performance for the fire protection market while offering a more eco-friendly alternative, reducing environmental impact without compromising effectiveness. This foam provides superior protection in many applications such as warehouses, chemical manufacturing and storage facilities, and aircraft hangars.
