Product Specialist Formulation at BÜCHI Labortechnik AG

Flawil, St Gallen, Switzerland

About

I am a Product Specialist at BUCHI Labortechnik AG, where I focus on the development and ongoing refinement of the Mini Spray Dryer S-300 and its related accessories. Before taking on this role, I worked as a Product Specialist in the Drying Team, covering both freeze drying and spray drying technologies. I originally joined the organization through technical sales, which gave me a deep understanding of customer needs, practical challenges, and real world laboratory environments. I hold a Swiss FH Diploma in Chemistry from the University of applied sciences in Winterthur. I have also completed studies in Business Administration (non degree). While I do not publish scientific articles, I see my expertise in training and knowledge transfer, and I regularly lead two to three raining sessions per year, primarily focused on laboratory scale spray drying. What drives me most is understanding the market and recognizing the challenges our customers face — and using that insight to help create solution oriented, reliable technologies.
