The SENAT DER WIRTSCHAFT Austria has welcomed two new senators: Findustrial co-founders and managing directors Günter Hehenfelder and Martin Gruber. Chairman of the board Hans Harrer and senior representative Stefan Unterweger presented the certificates in person at Findustrial.
In its announcement, the Senate describes Findustrial as a holistic transformation partner for mechanical and plant engineering: business model development, operational implementation and refinancing under one roof, so that equipment manufacturers can turn one-off sales into recurring service revenue with Equipment-as-a-Service. Günter and Martin will contribute this perspective to the Senate’s dialogue on an innovative, competitive and future-proof economy.
“Change in mechanical engineering is happening right now. Every day I see OEMs facing the decision whether to carry on as before or fundamentally rethink their business model. In the SENAT DER WIRTSCHAFT I want to make exactly this transformation visible and help shape it, because Austria can be a real role model here,” says Günter Hehenfelder.
“When we founded Findustrial, Equipment-as-a-Service was a foreign word for many. Today we talk to OEMs across Europe who are actively driving this change. Being able to bring this perspective into the SENAT DER WIRTSCHAFT shows that the topic has arrived at the right level,” says Martin Gruber.
