Interview

MFN had the opportunity to speak with Florian Götz, Innovation Director, Ervin Europe.

Michael Becker has been a fixture at the Walther Trowal Test and Training Center (TTC) for more than 28 years – first as second-in-command and then as its manager. This summer, he will retire. At that time, Maximilian Beien will assume the management of the TTC. This presents a good opportunity to look at the development of surface refinement technology over the last few decades and to discuss future technological trends.

In a world where markets and demands are constantly evolving, flexibility, innovation, and an uncompromising customer focus are key success factors. But how can these values not only be promised but also implemented daily? In the following interview, Soran Jota, Managing Director at OTEC Präzisionsfinish, provides insights into the strategies that have made the company a leading provider in surface finishing technology. Learn how the intelligent combination of various technologies creates customized solutions that go far beyond industry standards. Discover why a solution-oriented approach and long-term partnerships form the foundation for sustainable success and how a lived culture of innovation secures the company's future.
