ASIA
In our Asian Consulting business unit we have been working for many years with Dr.-Ing. Hans Wobbe of Wobbe & Partner
Dr. Ing. Hans Wobbe was born in Hamburg in 1951 and studied Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig. He was awarded a doctorate on “Expansion flows of polymer fluids” in 1984.
After holding several management positions in plastics processing, including Head of Development at Werner & Pfleiderer GmbH in Stuttgart, he switched from compounding to injection moulding. With responsibility as Engineering Director of Munich-based Krauss-Maffei Kunststofftechnik GmbH, for the first time the combination of both technologies became production-reliable and ready for market. During his work as Engineering Director / Production Directer for the Austrian company Engel Holding GmbH, he had a special focus on the development of a complete product range of fully-electric injection moulding machines. Furthermore, production accelerated the extension and construction of new plants, especially in Asia.
In 2010 along with Dr.-Ing. Erwin Bürkle, he established the Wobbe Bürkle Partner partnership and has since then worked as an independent management consultant. He is also an adviser to Voss Holding GmbH & Co. KG, in Wipperfürth, as well as the Start-up Adviser for the Institute for Lightweight Construction and Hybrid Systems (ILH) at the University of Paderborn. He also is also a scientific adviser to the Institute of Plastics Technology (KTP) at the University of Paderborn and is a member of the VDI Plastics Technology Strategy Group of the VDI Society for Materials Engineering.
Since 2014, he has been recognised as a Foreign Expert in China by the “State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs” (SAFEA) and is also a “Member of 1000 Talent Plan”. Since the summer semester of 2013, he has lectured on “Combination technologies based on injection moulding” at the Institute for Plastics Processing at RWTH Aachen University.
