"Since childhood I was fascinated by big machinery, inspired by my father, an electro-mechanics engineer. In a male‑dominated field back home, I held on to my dream. Today, I work with cranes and heavy equipment - living that dream."
"For me, challenges are opportunities - to learn, grow, and discover new perspectives. The variety in my work fuels me, and with a strong team by my side, even the toughest tasks become possible."
"For me, PALFINGER is like a school – where every experience, whether success or challenge, brings new insights. Continuous learning and the dynamic nature of the work keep me motivated and make my role exciting and fulfilling."

"In my experience, leadership diversity strengthens teams and motivates everyone to contribute to the success of the organization. If I inspire that sort of mindset, I couldn’t be happier."
"It's just so exciting to see it all come together. Creating a prototype is a highly hands-on and collaborative process. Seeing our new product pass rigorous drop, impact, overload, boarding, and stability tests was a truly fulfilling experience."
"I love facing the unexpected, and the fact that PALFINGER Marine repeatedly sets new market standards in terms of product excellence fills me with satisfaction and pride."
PALFINGER "EPSILON"
PALFINGER EPSILON works side by side with customers, often in the field, to see exactly how our machinery performs and where we can make it even better. We design, assemble, and refine cranes and lifting solutions that meet real-world needs in a spirit of passion, responsibility, and teamwork. Every project allows our people to contribute ideas, take ownership, and help shape the future of lifting technology.
"I love it when things move forward - when ideas are not only heard but also put into action. At our milestone of the 5,000th crane, we all came together, contributed, celebrated, and experienced what truly defines the Epsilon spirit: everyone plays their part, and everyone contributes to success."
"What inspires me every day as a product manager at Epsilon is the direct exchange with our customers – right in the middle of real-world application, where their needs and ideas emerge. Together with our development team, we turn these into something tangible, and it fills us with pride to present a new product that not only makes everyday life easier for our customers but also brings them great joy and a sense of security."
