Dirk Czerwinski
Founder & Managing Director, Graduate Engineer, dcb innovation GmbH

With Aufwind, a partnership is created on equal terms—with a clear understanding of the challenges in mechanical and plant engineering. I particularly value their ability to combine technological depth with a systems perspective. This is exactly what we need to jointly explore new avenues in order processing and standardization in plant engineering.
