In close coordination with the sales management, he decides whether inquiries or custom solutions are pursued or declined. For such projects, he prepares technical drawings as specified and defines the technical requirements for quotations.

Philosophy & Approach

I am an engineer by passion—driven by enthusiasm for technology and the ambition to always find the most efficient and technically best solution for our customers. Creativity and practical relevance shape my work: I do not only design in theory, but also test and optimize my designs myself—directly in the workshop or on the construction site.

This practical approach is also reflected in my trainings. I convey technical knowledge in a vivid, application-oriented way with real-world relevance so that theory and practice fit together seamlessly.
