Michael Jung
Co-CEO

Michael has many years of experience in building operational business units in the industry as well as introducing new technologies. After completing his engineering studies in process technology, he gained initial experience with a medium-sized mechanical and plant engineering group before joining Nanogate, a spin-off of the Leibniz Institute for New Materials, in 2001. There, he accompanied the management until the end of 2019, in which he held responsibility for the entire Group, most recently with twelve production sites, as Chief Operating Officer (COO) after the IPO in 2006. Michael then expanded his expertise as Global Head of Operations in a medium-sized family-owned company in the plastics industry. As part of the management team, he brings this experience to bear and actively shapes the development of the company.

"I enjoy establishing new technologies as well as advancing Saarland."

Dr.-Ing. Steffen Hau
Co-Founder & CTO

Our co-founder Steffen is the expert on all technology issues. During his doctorate at Saarland University, which followed his master's degree, he worked at the chair for intelligent material systems and took over the group management of DE technology there in 2017. In 2018 he completed his doctorate on application-oriented and high-performance DE drives. Due to his many years of experience as a process engineer at Infineon Technologies, he also has in-depth knowledge of product and process development in industry and is also responsible for technical sales.

"This groundbreaking technology is so versatile and provides so many benefits to our customers that it needs to be commercially available."
