- Mechanical engineering
Currently a team of over 150 people works at hte bringing in their experts skills. Read their opinions as to why our clients benefit from project work with hte:
Stephan A. Schunk
Senior Scientist Basic Chemicals
"I personally find it very satisfying that hte is able to contribute at all levels of process development - reaction engineering, catalyst synthesis and catalyst testing - all of which are key to a successful project which can benefit our partners. Perhaps the greatest asset that we bring to this partnership is the understanding of how to make things happen in high throughput workflows in order to substantially accelerate developments."
Josef Find
Senior Scientist Refinery Hydroprocessing
"High throughput is not simply "many-at-once". It is a very creative way to extend knowledge outside the box. Chemistry, Physics, Engineering: they all are based upon the same fundamental laws of nature. Assisting for new developments, and especially constructing new solutions for next generation processes that encourages me to be creative every day."
Simone Sieg
Project Manager Process Automation Solutions
"As a trained mathematician I enjoy working together with the various chemists, physicists and computer scientists which make up hte's software team. The interdisciplinary nature of the team facilitates a true understanding of the chemists' needs meaning we are able to translate these needs into the optimal software solutions for our clients. For me ease of use and robustness are key factors in effectively supporting high throughput R&D."
Oliver Püttmann
Process Engineer
"In addition to the usual reliability and comprehensive ‘round-the-clock’ operation of our systems, we have worked hard over the past 2 years to also optimize the user friendliness of our systems and the accompanying software. To develop state-of-the-art technology allows my ‘engineer’s heart’ to beat faster and we cannot rest until our test systems are running perfectly at the client’s site."
Michael Saupe
Director Technology Solutions
"The interdisciplinary nature of the way we work at hte allows us to combine our superior engineering capabilities with proven scientific expertise, thus producing the optimal reactor systems. This means that we are always able to find the best possible solution for our clients R&D needs. As a small company, we are able to interact efficiently in turn offering clients a high degree of flexibility as well as short construction times and fast responses when dealing with their requests."
Sascha Vukojevic
Business Development Manager – Key Accounts
"It’s all about people. When I think of hte I think of the highly motivated minds, the independent thinkers who create innovative ideas and solutions. I think of the great scientists hungry to take on new challenges in technology and science, who drive the company with their commitment to deliver. It is a privilege to belong to the people of hte, who know what team work means, who know how to listen to each other and, most importantly, how to listen to their customers. At the end of the day, it’s all about people."
