It was clear to me early on that I was fascinated by the interplay of technology, precision and industrial added value. During my time at KraussMaffei, I got to know the plastics industry from the ground up — first in designing injection molding machines, later in designing complex production systems worldwide. These years have shaped my eye for processes, structures and technical relationships and have shown me that even the smallest planning decisions can have enormous effects on efficiency and profitability.

With increasing experience, my focus shifted from pure technology to processes and organization. As head of global sales processes and variant management, I was later responsible for digitizing central processes, introducing CRM systems and standardizing international project structures. In doing so, I learned that successful industrial projects can only be created when technology, data and people are geared towards common goals.

Today at IE Plast, I combine this experience in general planning of industrial production sites. The complexity of these tasks appeals to me — from the initial idea to process planning to turnkey implementation. It is particularly exciting that every factory, every company and every customer is different. The production process may seem similar, but the approach and know-how are always individual. It is precisely this diversity that motivates me: to develop tailor-made solutions from different perspectives and requirements and to contribute our accumulated experience from numerous projects.

For me, every project is a new opportunity to combine technology, efficiency and architecture — to create a production facility that works perfectly, works efficiently and lasts for the long term.
