How did I end up at NISSIN? At the end of 1992, the company was looking for a customs specialist. I was a qualified forwarding agent with four years of experience in the area of customs clearance, so I started working in the NISSIN warehouse office in Neuss in January 1993. After only a short time, I began managing various customs procedures for the locations in Düsseldorf, Kelsterbach, and Hamburg. Since 1993, I have been authorized as a tax agent. For more than 25 years, I have been involved in various IT projects in the areas of customs, warehousing, and transport on behalf of NISSIN. I have helped introduce and expand a Warehouse Management System (WMS) in Germany, France, Spain, Austria, Great Britain, Poland, and the Netherlands. Since 2004, I have also been committed to the Europe-wide integration of SCOPE, a software for international freight management. Furthermore, my responsibilities include compliance management for ISO 9001, AEO, and GDP certifications and user support and training for various software applications.

I really appreciate the diverse challenges at NISSIN. Working on the introduction of two software applications and other cross-sectional tasks has given me a very good overview of the scope of NISSIN across various locations. I am, therefore, always in demand when it comes to new projects, and I am able to contribute my ideas and experience and make a real difference as a project manager. I am able to answer the important questions. Where are the points of contact? How can the English benefit from the Spanish? What should be considered when dealing with sea freight? I also like implementing warehousing logistics at new locations like a pioneer, which I had the opportunity to in Rugby (UK) in 2007, in Torun (PL) in 2008, and in Tilburg (NL) in 2018. At NISSIN, I can also prove myself in completely new areas, such as in 2002/2003 when the new warehouse was being built in Neuss and I was able to work in the area of controlling and coordinate the warehouse equipment. That level of involvement gives me a great deal of motivation.
