Bio
Markku Ruokanen
I have been working with Amith since 2015 at PPC Insulators in different configurations, sometimes as superior, sometimes as colleague. Amith is a very nice person to work with: it doesn’t matter what might formal organisational relationship, he is eager to help everybody on his core competence area: Electrical Engineering. He is a hard-working person and fully dedicated to his customer satisfaction, might it be external or internal. Amith is as well
Erik Gothlin
In my six years as CEO of PPC Insulator group I had the pleasure of interacting frequently with Amith and thereby gained appreciation for his knowledge and passion to further improving PPC’s portfolio of insulators. When it comes to the understanding and applicability of international standards (IEC, NEMA etc) Amith is second to none! When it comes to electrical and mechanical tests of insulators Amith, in his systematic manner, is always the one who presents conclusions and thereupon suggest product improvements. Amith takes pride in listening to, and to understand the customer. Amith has the affinity for understanding different cultures. On numerous occasions he has been the
