Dr. Alexander Stefan

Alexander is a chemical engineer with many years of experience in the petrochemical industry. After working in process development and engineering, he took on responsibility for plant safety, process engineering and continuous improvement processes in the production of speciality chemicals.

At Cornelsen, he is responsible for operations and technology at the Essen site. He is particularly fascinated by the fact that technology and environmental responsibility are directly intertwined here - and have a joint impact.

"Our aim is to create a genuine and practicable solution to a complex and increasingly pressing environmental problem - and to continuously develop it further."

A special moment in his work for him is the first commissioning of a system: "That's when you realise what theory and planning are worth - and the race against time begins. When everything works as planned in the end, it's always a great feeling."

His aim is to further develop the Essen site so that Cornelsen can meet the requirements of a growing market, both organisationally and technically.
