The trained industrial engineer Westphal will manage the businesses of the BST Group together with Dr. Jürgen Dillmann, who has been responsible for the company’s Technology field since June 1, 2018.

Westphal has many years of comprehensive experience in the management of small and medium-sized companies and their international sales organizations. Most recently, he was a member of the management team at EAE Engineering Automation Electronics GmbH in Ahrensburg near Hamburg.

Westphal sees growth potential for the whole Group in a variety of industries. “We’re going to make use of our comprehensive practical expertise, move into other sectors through diversification, and in the process tap into new markets for the future. At the same time, we want to protect our leading position in our core markets and build on it,” announced the new Managing Director.

In the future, the company will put an even greater focus on the development of comprehensive solutions systematically oriented to market requirements. “In the process, we’ll bring in specific industry partners in order to round out our portfolio and generate added value for our customers,” Westphal explained. In addition, BST eltromat will make greater use of IoT- and Industry 4.0-based processes. The company is working intensively on raising its service quality further, and wants to offer customers flexible options for concluding a variety of service level agreements with the Group.
