BST eltromat appoints new BST ProControl head

Steggemann started his career at BST eltromat parent company EMG Automation in the strip guiding unit in metal manufacturing. After a year, he accepted an offer from the EMG subsidiary BST International. Steggemann worked there from 1990 until 2001 in various positions in technical sales, including leading the order processing center. Over the years that followed, he expanded his practical experience of measurement and control technology as well as automation technology at other companies. He will now contribute his comprehensive know-how at BST ProControl.

BST eltromat founded BST ProControl in 2013 as a 100 percent subsidiary through the acquisition of Betacontrol and Protagon. Since the start of 2017, BST ProControl has been completely integrated into BST eltromat’s business processes and has since been run as an integrated and autonomously acting business unit of the company at its location in Wenden.

Steggemann said: ‘When I applied for the advertised position, I didn’t know that it was at the company where I spent 11 very interesting and exciting years at the start of my career. I was even more enthusiastic when I found that out. I am fascinated by the potential that BST eltromat has developed since then as a supplier of a comprehensive solution portfolio for quality assurance in web-processing industries.

‘I look forward to being able to make the best use of this potential with my colleagues when optimizing our customers’ processes.’

Steggemann continued: ‘The basis weight and thickness measurements are becoming more and more important parameters to our customers. These can make a significant contribution, not only to increasing product quality, but also to improving the efficiency and economy of production processes.’

Kristian Jünke, managing director for sales and service at BST eltromat International, said: ‘With his comprehensive practical experience of measurement and control technology, and as a former BST employee, he will find his feet quickly in his new position – and will be able to act as a competent partner for our customers with his overarching view of the various quality assurance tasks when it comes to optimizing customer processes.’
