ATEK Drive Solutions strengthens its operational capabilities. Effective immediately, Mr. Teschner is responsible for the entire operation along our value chain – with a clear focus on quality, delivery reliability, and efficiency.
Dirk Teschner has been part of ATEK Drive Solutions for several years. After his successful time as Head of Purchasing, he is transitioning to the role of Director of Operations – a consistent step that brings together his strengths in procurement, supply chain, and production. With 28 years of experience in mechanical engineering, he combines hands-on practice with a strategic perspective.
In close coordination with management, departmental heads, and staff, Dirk Teschner plans and manages the overall operational performance, optimizes processes according to Lean principles, and oversees the areas of production, logistics, service, procurement, shipping, and quality. He ensures ISO-compliant quality, environmental, and safety standards, manages performance through clearly defined KPIs and regular reporting, and drives cross-departmental projects as a central interface as well as collaboration with internal and external partners.
From the shop floor to strategy: After training as an industrial mechanic, he gained experience in final assembly, commissioning, and quality assurance, worked in technical/commercial spare part sales, took responsibility in project management for new products, and simultaneously completed further training as a state-certified mechanical engineering technician as well as a certified technical business economist. At ATEK Drive Solutions, he last led procurement as Head of Purchasing – the ideal foundation for his new role as Director of Operations.
Welcome to the new role. We look forward to the impulses that Dirk Teschner will bring as Director of Operations for ATEK Drive Solutions – for the benefit of our customers, partners, and employees.
