"Our customers don't expect salespeople, but partners who speak their language," emphasizes Managing Director Thomas Schönbucher. "With Stefan's experience in construction, we can assess technical challenges even more specifically and translate them into concrete solutions more quickly."
From CAD model to customer meeting
Stefan Geist was part of the priomold design team for several years. There, he designed hundreds of tools, analyzed complex component geometries and ensured that prototypes and low-volume production became reality in record time. He now brings this experience to the sales department - with one goal: to advise customers even earlier, more precisely and more practically.
"I know the mindset of designers and the typical stumbling blocks in parts development," explains Geist. "Now I can use this knowledge directly in the project initiation phase - and show our customers how they can save time and money with the right tool strategy."
Technology meets sales - and the result is speed
The decision to move internally is emblematic of the culture at priomold: flat hierarchies, quick decisions and strong development prospects. The company specifically promotes employees who want to bring their technical expertise to new roles - particularly in the areas of project management and sales, where specialist knowledge is a key factor.
"We are growing strongly - but without giving up our hands-on mentality," adds Thomas Schönbucher, one of the two Managing Directors. "The fact that employees like Stefan continue to develop internally shows that we don't separate technical excellence and customer focus, but combine them."
Customers benefit from practical advice
priomold supplies companies from sectors such as automotive, medical technology, industry and consumer goods with plastic parts for prototypes and low-volume production. Every hour counts - especially in product development. Thanks to increased technical sales, development engineers and purchasers will be able to receive even faster, more individual and technically sound advice in future.
"Our aim is to further accelerate communication between the customer, design and toolmaking departments," says Geist. "In the end, everyone benefits - through shorter coordination paths, more precise quotations and a high level of implementation reliability."
