Subsequently, as Head of Service Processes and Systems within TRUMPF's Global Service Center, he was responsible for 20 employees. The focus was on the standardization of service processes and the further development of the international service units in the foreign subsidiaries and agencies. In the last 2.5 years, Marco Greifeneder managed projects in the 'Operational Excellence' program for Technical Customer Service, which included increasing the efficiency of customer commissioning and performance management. 

At AICHELIN Service, the internationally active service company of the AICHELIN Group, Marco Greifeneder will now contribute his comprehensive service management knowledge and use it to further optimize processes, systems and communication channels. 

We wish Marco Greifeneder a successful start and much success in our company!
