I am...

... someone who enjoys working with people. Someone who is always interested in taking their customers, business partners and colleagues one step further. Someone who never tires of continuously developing his expertise in injection moulding in order to keep pace with the market and its changes.

I would like to share this expertise, which is still growing every day even after 26 years. With companies, with (future) managers, but also with people who want to gain a foothold in plastics technology.

At SR Kunststofftechnik, you can expect not only extensive professional experience and in-depth knowledge, but also an empathetic person who is sensitive, open and individually attuned to his counterparts and their concerns. At the same time, however, I also have the necessary rigour to initiate change and implement the wishes of my clients.

For 18 years now, I have been able to prove that such an approach leads to success by providing technical and disciplinary guidance to shift supervisors, production employees and department heads.

I look forward to getting to know you!
