Mikael Kruse Email and Phone Number

At first my interest in grease and lubrication was far from solid, when entering AXEL as laboratory assistant directly after school. To be honest I had a very vague idea about the product and its intended use. Gradually, after learning the basics of testing and formulation, things started to really get interesting during my years as development engineer. Tweaking soaps, base oil blends and additives to reach new targets is fun enough, but dealing with novel ideas and trying new solutions is still one of the most rewarding tasks known to me. To me the world of grease offers something special, the ability to make a difference and being on the edge of technology for a wide array of different applications and conditions.A bit reluctant to leave my pilot kettles in the lab, I took the opportunity to move to a different position as the group product manager at AXEL. This has allowed me to move closer to our customers, their need, requirements and get an understanding on how to bridge the gap between what is inquired and what actually is needed. A large part here, and to my joy this is something that I like, is to learn of needs, educate and provide solutions for. My mission nowadays is to help our customers to achieve better solutions and that they also should understand why. In combination with adjusting and complementing our product range, where I still can exercise my ideas of innovation, I enjoy my duties more than ever.
