Bio
Pete Ensch
During his tenure at Rexnord, Gert-Jan worked in a number of positions with increased levels of responsibility. Gert-Jan has successfully developed and introduced new products, managed projects, developed processes in engineering & manufacturing, provided technical support to sales representative & customers, managed a design department, successfully enforced intellectual property, and worked closely with key suppliers. He has a solid background as a mechanical engineer, serving various markets and a range of product lines. He is well rounded and has the ability to manage a number of projects simultaneously. Gert-Jan has a great sense of customer service – he takes great pride in doing what is right for the customer. On a personal note, Gert-Jan is hard working, focused and one of the most ethical engineers I have had the pleasure to work with. His courteous, well-mannered demeanor is both professional and effective in dealing with challenging situations both in the office and in front of customers. He is able to deal with a significant amount of distraction and performs well under pressure to meet deadlines. My recommendation is based on knowing Gert-Jan as a self-motivated, highly organized individual capable of planning, executing and completing work. Peter J. Ensch Chief Executive Officer WEM Automation, LLC
Dr. Thomas Paral
With the re-opening of the Den Bosch Lab as Industrial Environmental Test Lab, Gert-Jan has displayed his capability of leading a team on clear targets.

He has organized the Warehouse team to set up the structure, processes and roles. Gert-Jan is strongly customer focused and problem solving oriented, even outside his comfort zone.
