The Departure of a true industry veteran
Helmut Kreutzer is ready for the next step in life: retirement!
Now, he will have to report to his wife. 😉
The focus will shift from crushing and screening to loving and caring. I have no doubt that he will bring the same passion to his family life and enjoy his hobbies, although I am equally sure that his passion for our industry will never die.
Helmut joined Keestrack in 2010, bringing with him a wealth of experience. Since then, he has been a major driving force behind our impactors. He earned a reputation as Keestrack’s impactor specialist, educating and training salespeople and dealers all around the world. In many ways, Helmut was our very own training centre avant la lettre.
With his warm and empathetic personality, Helmut has always been a helpful and supportive colleague, ready to step in whenever support was needed. A true team player, he shared in our successes while always keeping the bigger picture in mind.
His teammates could be found in every department of the company. Naturally, he worked closely with engineering, but he also understood the importance of sales, marketing and other departments. He knew that success comes from working together as one team. After all, just like our impactors, a company cannot perform at its best if even one essential component is missing, much like a rotor without blow bars!
Helmut has always been an enthusiastic participant at trade shows and a true professional at the highest level. And after a long day’s work, there was no need to ask what he wanted to drink: he was always ready for a b**r and a good story!
A great salesman, always hungry for knowledge, and a steak. 😉 And always ready for one more challenge.
Helmut, you will be greatly missed at Keestrack, but we wish you all the very best for this exciting new chapter in your life.
May your b**rs always be cold, your days be filled with adventure, your stories grow ever more entertaining, and the love and passion you bring to everything you do remain as strong as ever.
Enjoy your retirement, Helmut. You have certainly earned it!
