Our company emerged from the many years of experience of the managing director, Ing. Manfred Foissner, who had been working as a machinist and foreman in the area of ​​production and central mechanical maintenance since 1997 before he worked in the plain bearing industry from 2008 and has with extensive experience in the industry. After graduating from the HTL Vienna-West (mechanical engineering with a focus on plant construction) as an application engineer, he began to design plain bearing systems for complex requirements (including the Assiut dam in Egypt and for the demanding lift systems of an Austrian world market leader for all facilities of the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi etc.) and later worked as a sales engineer for the world market leader in the industry. He then worked as a sales manager for another company in the industry and, in his 20 years of accumulated experience, built up and strengthened a global network of customers and partners.
