About

As the Factory Manager, I lead the day-to-day operations of the factory, ensuring that we exceed customer expectations, optimize production processes, reduce costs, and maintain quality standards.

With a background in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's degree in Business Administration and Management, I have a strong combination of technical and managerial skills that enable me to oversee the plant maintenance, production planning, resource allocation, and strategic leadership of the factory. I have a solid track record of increasing production, assets capacity, and flexibility, while minimizing unnecessary costs and enhancing product quality, through continuous focus on automation of manufacturing processes. I am proficient in ERP systems, quality standards, and safety protocols. I am committed to driving continuous improvement and achieving operational excellence.
