2014-today
Development and design of a holistic concept for glass
recycling to covering the whole value chain in glass making
as a cradle-to-cradle process to optimise production and to
reduce raw material and energy consumption.
He is an appreciated partner to equipment buyers and sellers, as well as to
glass professionals and decision makers on large scale investments and long
term projects in the glass industry. He is experienced in equipment and
treatment of glass in cold end from cutting to coating and has a sound
overview over the market covering glass making equipment form batch to
quality inspection equipments.
In addition, André has commercial insight into the raw materials and
equipment used by operators at production locations for glass, worldwide, his
understanding of the cost and benefit of using BAT equipment and processes
are most outstanding and valuable and consequently.
