“I am pleased to be able to place my experience at the service of the GEA Air Treatment Division now, and to contribute in this way to process enhancement,” said Weiler. “Although information technology is not directly reflected in manufactured products themselves, it still represents the backbone of communications in practically all companies.” As prime examples of the effects of IT enhancement as highly perceptible outside a company, Lukas Weiler cites the following: greater precision in contract execution, shorter throughput times, and greater optimization in e-service. Dr. Michael Bauer has welcomed him aboard as follows: “We are fortunate to be able to have Mr. Weiler as an experienced IT expert – one who is familiar with the structures and the procedures in our business. This will especially benefit us in ongoing process optimization at the newest of our GEA Air Treatment Division sites.”
