Sarlin Hydor is a company specializing in compressors, compressed air production, and the processing of other gases. Out of the nine years I spent there, I was the maintenance manager. During that time, we made many maintenance contracts, started/learned to do maintenance for competitors' compressor brands, and started selling compressed air instead of compressed air equipment. My task was to lead the maintenance organization and find suitable spare parts channels for those devices outside our own representative offices. In addition to the above, we extended our maintenance to cover PSA devices, which are used in the production of nitrogen and oxygen, e.g. in hospitals and we started servicing aeration compressors at water plants.Before my service manager position, I was Sarlin Hydorn's quality manager for approx. 1.5 years and at the same time Sarlin Group's environmental manager.
