Our Team

Helmut Maier
Principal

„Even a journey of 1000 miles

begins with the first step."

(borrowed from Lao Tzu)

Helmut has a degree in engineering and can look back on over 30 years of professional and management experience in aviation and plant engineering. He uses his expertise in the areas of product development, product optimization and project management to support and lead various teams in their challenges with the appropriate methods.

He has always considered his professional training as an aircraft mechanic as the basis of his profound knowledge. Already during his studies he opened a design office for control cabinet construction.

In his projects Helmut realizes again and again how much every success is only created by the interaction of a multifunctional and accepted team. Building such teams, supporting them with the appropriate methodology and then working in a motivated and goal-oriented manner is what drives Helmut.

In his private life, Helmut enjoys hiking with family and friends, preferably in the Allgäu Alps.
