LONDON, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Family firm MSF-Vathauer Antriebstechnik were celebrating this week after Marc Vathauer came first in the Business Worldwide Magazine's CEO of the Year 2016 - Germany.
As the man in charge since 2006, he has managed to keep the 38-year-old firm a leading player in the customised drive technology sector for industry. This is achieved through constantly striving for ever-increasing innovation.
"I am delighted with this award," he said. "It's nice to get recognition, I don't mean for myself, but everyone here at MSF-Vathauer. I have always believed that a good CEO involves his staff in decision-making and keeps them informed as much as possible. Letting them know how valued they are is another 'must.'"
His industry, he conceded, was a rapidly advancing one.
"There is no doubt that the need for faster, more flexible and smarter drive technology increases with every passing year," he said. "Together with the team here I enjoy the challenge of being presented with a problem from a client then going away and designing a solution which will make that business operate more efficiently and in a far more cost-effective manner."
MSF-Vathauer could indeed be described as the 'dream' company, thanks to their 24/7 repair and maintenance system, which includes delivering spare parts for broken machinery. They will also carry out specific on-site training for clients.
A former accountant for Porsche, Vathauer studied at the University of Paderborn in Germany and is currently studying for a PhD at the University of Portsmouth in the UK.
He has plans to expand internationally - thanks to the continued advancement of e-commerce on a global scale. The company - which has its HQ in Detmold, Central Germany - has two other subsidiaries, one of which is in Poland.
Meanwhile, the team has already received worldwide recognition - and awards - for its Energy Recovery System (ERS). This is a device which 'recycles' kinetic energy back into machinery and can be used on either new automated systems or retrofitted. It boasts a 98 per cent efficiency rate and is currently used in conveyancing systems, elevators and robotic automation applications.
It's clear this family-run firm - other family members work in the strategic innovation department, accountancy and production - is itself a driving force within its sector and one to keep an eye on as industry, and e-commerce in particular, expands.
