Our team and our qualifications
Heiko Kilian
Trained industrial mechanic in industrial engineering
Studied mechanical engineering at the technical school in Oberhausen
Scraper assembly and development since 1992
"I have a passion for developing scrapers for very specific requirements. Whenever a customer describes the serious difficulties they are encountering with a conveyor, I usually have an idea for a solution up my sleeve. And if I don't, I draw on my experience to develop a new solution. Even the most difficult cases whet my appetite."
Heiko Kilian
"I'm from a mining background and have worked on conveyors myself. I have been involved with scrapers since the start of my career. I'm still fascinated by having to identify optimisation potentials and constantly develop new solutions to make sure our customers in the bulk materials sector can work even more efficiently."

"Tried and proven task sharing: It's my job to ensure the commercial side of the business runs smoothly. My brother has an eye for the specific challenges conveyor technology brings. He knows instantly if a custom-made product is needed. Minimal planning effort and the best solution at the drop of a hat — that's what he's about."
