Summary

Experienced Project Engineer with extensive expertise in the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machines, with a specialization in MARTINI systems. Over the course of numerous field visits across diverse customer sites, I have demonstrated a proven ability to manage machine operations, resolve technical issues, and optimize the use of various packaging materials, including PE, CPP, OPP, and PET.

I possess a deep understanding of the mechanical and operational nuances of VFFS machines, enabling me to diagnose and address both routine and complex packaging problems efficiently. I have successfully ensured seamless transitions between different packaging materials, enhancing productivity and reducing downtime for clients. My hands-on approach has consistently resulted in improved operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

One of my key achievements is the development and implementation of an effective inventory management system for spare parts. This system has significantly improved parts availability, streamlined the maintenance process, and minimized machine downtime, leading to enhanced productivity for the organizations I have served.

I am highly skilled at providing technical support and training to machine operators and maintenance teams, ensuring that clients are fully equipped to manage the systems I service. With a strong foundation in both the mechanical and technical aspects of packaging machinery, I am committed to delivering optimal performance and tailored solutions for every client.
