June 28, 2017 - HIMA Paul Hildebrandt has appointed Stefan Basenach as head of the new Process business unit, effective 1 May 2017. With the creation of a separate business unit for the process industry, HIMA aims to focus their business strategy on stronger global growth and closer customer contact. An international project team will facilitate access to new markets and intensify cooperation with new and existing customers.
Stefan Basenach studied Engineering Cybernetics at the University of Stuttgart. After receiving his engineering degree, he worked at the Swiss automation corporation ABB for 24 years. He started there as an engineer for power plant control systems and subsequently worked in various local and global management positions. His last position at ABB was EPC Business Manager, with responsibility for substations in the EMEA region.
The newly created position bundles worldwide responsibility for one of HIMA’s most important business areas with a single point of contact. Prior to this, a similar structure was created with the appointment of Sedat Sezgün as head of the Rail business unit, where he acts as the main contact person and leads an international team. Stefan Basenach also reports directly to Sankar Ramakrishnan, CEO of the HIMA Group.
