I was hired as assistant to the former Director for production and technology of semifinished plastics of the HT Troplast group. I got small projects to work on at Trosifol (now Kururay), Trocellen, and Trovidur. In 1991 Trocellen needed support in the production area and I became assistant production manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What kind of background and studies did you come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly speaking, I have a university degree in Chemical Engineering with focus on chemical process technology, plastics were orginally not in my focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How did you get being promoted?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With being interested in projects and activities in other areas and collecting knowledge and competence, I increased my chances for being a preferrable candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are your main tasks\/responsibilities today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Screening for new products and technologies for Trocellen for example by &nbsp;cooperating with external Research Institutes. An important task is work on the introduction of Ecodesign thinking, to support Trocellen\u2019s target to become more sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You are working here about 33 years now. Why do you still love to be here?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It never gets boring. There have been continuously upcoming new topics I could take care on, it was mostly a challenge but I always had the feeling that Trocellen encouraged me to take the risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Could you please tell a bit about your private life or hobbies to let you know better? How can you reconcile the work and the private life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Badminton and ballroom dancing are my favourite sports. I like taking photos, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;playing pool billard and try to go sailing at least once a year. Balancing work and private life is not easy, fortunately my wife always showed a lot of understanding when I got home late from the company. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What would you recommend to the new colleagues to be able to build a similarly successful career at Trocellen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be open minded, stay curious, build up your own competence but listen to others opinions too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":178,"template":"","story_role":[27],"story_country":[29],"class_list":["post-177","career_story","type-career_story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Frank Pilz - Trocellen Career<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Frank Pilz - Trocellen Career\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Tell us about how long you\u2019ve been working for the company and what position you started in?
