Executive search for mechanical and plant engineering
Executive search for managing directors and decision-makers in mechanical and plant engineering. A personal direct approach for export-driven, often family-owned companies.
Export-driven, mid-sized, changing
Mechanical and plant engineering is shaped by mid-sized companies and depends heavily on exports. Many companies lead their niche and belong to a family. At the same time the business is shifting: software, service and data are becoming more important, and international competitors are catching up technically.
Many companies also face the question of succession. When the owning family hands over operational management, the business needs a managing director who understands the technology, can sell internationally and respects the company's culture.
What this means for your appointment
01
Technology and market together
I look for executives who understand a product and can sell it worldwide.
02
Preparing succession
For non-family management, I align profile and expectations with the owning family early on.
03
Service and software
For new business models, it pays to look at profiles with experience in service or software businesses.

I work across industries, with roots in manufacturing. Every appointment starts with your company’s situation.
- Managing director
- Sales and internationalisation
- Service and after sales
- Technical management, design and R&D
- Production and operations
