Armbruster Engineering: Hello Tobias, congratulations on your 10-year anniversary at AE. That's really impressive. Can you tell us a bit about your career at AE?
Tobias Strube: Of course, thank you very much. My path at AE began during my studies in mechanical engineering. I became aware of the company and completed an internship semester here. After also working as a student assistant, I had to decide whether I should do my Master's degree or gain professional experience. As I really enjoyed the varied work at AE, the choice was quickly made.
Armbruster Engineering: Your career at AE sounds very varied. You have worked in various departments and are now in Sales. How did that come about?
Tobias Strube: I started as a project manager and looked after my first customers. Thanks to my experience in setting up the ELAM software, I was then also used as a technical contact at trade fairs. It turned out that I was not only technically adept, but also had a talent for sales. At that time, the sales department had just been established, which we then built up together.
Armbruster Engineering: Sales in the field may seem old-fashioned to some. How do you see it?
Tobias Strube: Online demonstrations may be sufficient for some industries, but at AE we offer much more than just software. We also offer engineering services, for example to plan, design and manufacture fixtures for assembly or even complete assembly systems. Personal on-site consultation is therefore often essential in order to find tailor-made solutions for our customers.
Armbruster Engineering: After 10 years at AE, you are obviously still enthusiastic. What do you particularly appreciate about our company?
Tobias Strube: I particularly appreciate the continuous innovation of our products, the diversity of our customers and the strong team spirit. In this respect, I am looking forward to many more years at Armbruster Engineering.
Armbruster Engineering: Dear Tobias, we are also delighted to be able to shape the further development of Armbruster Engineering together with you. Thank you very much for the interview!
Tobias Strube: Gladly!
