After I finished my technical education, I actually spent my entire professional life in the automotive industry. Before I decided to start my own business, I worked successively at:
-
TNO Road Vehicles Research Institute
-
Heavy Duty and Light Duty Engine Development
-
Turbocharger matching
-
Calibration and emission optimization
-
Simulation studies
-
Fundamental research
-
Development of alternative fuel equipment
-
NTZ Netherlands
-
development of filtration products and other (plastic) parts for Automotive and Industrial applications
-
IBS-Filtran
-
development of filtration products and oil pans for automotive transmissions
In addition, I have always been privately active in developing parts for, among other things, drag race motorcycles. Due to all the above activities, I have thoroughly immersed myself in the creation of products from plastic and metal, but also in the development of assembly lines that can turn parts into assemblies.
