For the past 6 years, I have been working for HILTI as development engineer, dealing between Asian suppliers and the worldwide settled Market Organisations as a consultant in all matters concerning application, production and design of screws for the construction industry. In addition I have been responsible to manage the approval processes in accordance to the national regulations for our Market Organisations (i. E. Dibt approval for construction market of Germany, ICC-ES approval for the US business) . Basically, my company had an own manufacturing facility but have used many suppliers for standard parts. Over this time, I have built up excellent contacts and relationships with approval bodys and test laboratories throughout the world. Recently I have established my own company doing exactly same as in the past. SPECIALTY: Application Consultant (What screw for which application) Production Consultant (What are the prerequisites to enter an approval process) Design of screws (for a given application) Manage approval processI believe that I have a better knowledge and personal contacts with test laboratories as well as to approval bodies in Germany and the US than anyone operating from overseas. I am looking for manufacturers willing to increase their margin and decrease their dependancy on distribution. If you are interested in having an engineering service agent for above mentioned work in Germany please feel free to contact me.
