Permanent further development is what fascinates Holzmayr about elastomers. "For each new application, for a different use – it’s fun to develop a suitable product over and over again". And, that’s what she is particularly looking forward to in her new position: implementing new requirements directly in collaboration with the customer, finding solutions, applying what she has learned so far to the market.

She brings the comprehensive technological expertise required for this with her. The new Area Sales Manager has already completed her training as a chemical laboratory technician in the corporate group then worked in quality assurance and her most recent position was as an application engineer for elastomers. In 2012, she successfully completed her further studies in rubber technology at the German Institute of Rubber Technology (DIK).

Holzmayr is looking to find out what the demands placed on her in the future will be when, as a first step, she works with her sales colleagues to get a clear picture of her sales territory. "There is a lot going on at the moment". One current challenge is that of availability, not only of raw materials, but also above all of energy. How this will be resolved in the future is exciting. “In particular, we will see how we can be supportive to our customers in the way they are accustomed to”.

HOFFMANN MINERAL symbolizes products that are wanted and needed. In recent years, for example, the demands placed on components have become even greater, notably in the automotive sector. “The required low weight is challenging to implement, but with functionalized fillers and new developments, special requests can also be accommodated”. In toll manufacturing, for instance, raw materials and fillers are specially tailored to customer requirements, and Tailored Filler Solutions (TFS) supply customized products within the scope of existing applications.
