Myself

Since I was a little boy, I have been working on all kinds of machines, starting with bicycles, then mopeds, motorcycles, lawnmowers, cars, tractors…you name it. I have always been interested in how machines are designed and made and why they are done that way. Restoring and modifying cars and motorbikes has been my hobby since my teens – this has taught me a lot of things about mechanical and electrical engineering. I first studied to be a heavy equipment mechanic and soon after that continued studying automotive engineering. Between my studies, I did my military service – obviously in transportation company as a group leader / transportation sergeant. I have gathered versatile experience in my professional career, including heavy equipment maintenance and repair, parts manufacturing for OEM’s, managing a small manufacturing workshop, planning and supervising special transports and heavy lifting projects. Since when I found out about underground mining equipment it has been my primary field of interest.

I’m not one of those who wants to keep everything for himself – therefore I’m interested in sharing my knowledge in different ways, giving technical training and advising my customers. I always want to find the most practical and efficient solutions in any issues my customers are facing.

My thorough way of working is a big advantage with troubleshooting and preparing SOP’s.
This experience and education combined with my enthusiastic explorer’s mindset makes the best choice for the customers technical support and training needs.
