More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an internationally experienced expert for plant and production management in medium-sized companies and corporations in the manufacturing industry. As an experienced C-level executive, graduate engineer and quality manager, he has the best qualifications to increase productivity, reduce costs and realize growth. Another focus of the interim manager is on strategic and operational projects with a focus on relocation abroad (TOW).

In one of his most recent projects, for example, the interim manager optimized the production of a well-known sanitary manufacturer with four locations in Germany and abroad. By expanding plants in Germany and Poland and setting up a production facility in India, he made a significant contribution to increasing the company's growth by a double-digit percentage. He and his team realized another plant expansion with a double-digit million volume in just 18 months - from plant investments to approvals to SOP. In another project, he successfully realized the relocation of production to Morocco (transfer of work) for a US manufacturer of aerospace components. This resulted in significant cost savings for the German site.

Combines general management skills and production expertise

Before becoming a self-employed interim plant manager and production consultant (since 2023), the expert held positions including plant manager and managing director (Grohe, Olutex, Kranbau Köthen). His clients benefit above all from the combination of his commercial skills with the background of the graduate engineer, quality manager and expert in lean management - and his international experience: he has acquired great intercultural expertise during international project assignments for Volkswagen in South Africa and numerous international projects in the UK, USA, Europe, Japan and India.

Clients, managers and teams appreciate the interim manager's speed, drive, goal-oriented leadership and strong team spirit. His proactive communication involves employees in the design of processes and organizations at an early stage - and thus creates the spirit that is essential for successful project work.
