Who are the people who work for us?
Find out more about our employees, their jobs and their hidden talents.
Sina Lindner
There is no part of the company that she hasn't rocked yet. Always looking ahead, her only interest is in the question of how to solve the task in a structured way and the Excel project plan. With her hands-on mentality and good humor, she solves any task from rescuing large OEM projects to developing outstanding quality management. We think every company needs a Sina ...but we won't be giving ours away.

Thomas Naus
Thomas is our man for the nitty gritty. A genius in prototyping, he always considers the users and their needs first. To achieve this, he tinkers down to the last detail. He has the advantage that - as a lover of Italian motorcycles - he is always in practice when it comes to repairing them. As a firefighter experienced in emergency operations, he also helps us put out short-term "matev fires" before the show.

Hans Breit
Hans is our rock in the assembly department. As the manager there, he is the coordinator and calming influence and always has everything in view and firmly under control. He is our all-rounder and he’s up to anything. No matter whether it’s welding, painting or special tasks from marketing - in a pinch he’ll even spray golden records - and always with a smile on his face.

Georg Hemmerlein
Someone who was around from the get-go, he believes in matev like no one else. As managing partner, he is our visionary, strategist and always one step ahead of everyone else. His inimitable flair for design and technology makes our matev world look a little better every day. With passion and great trust in his team, he also guides matev through some of the challenges of entrepreneurship. But watch out, never offer him a bad red wine, because this golf aficionado knows his stuff about that too.

André Gallasch
Our operations manager has a firm grip on the reins. Moving around the company on a daily basis, his mission is smooth organization to ensure that all goods get to the right place at the right time. From optimizing the flow of goods, maintaining a modern IT landscape and managing our suppliers - his job description reads like the encyclopedia of operations management. Sometimes he even goes off the beaten path and amazes us with creative ideas for marketing - matev the trailblazer. And he can even bake pizza - what more could you want!

Jürgen Abing
Jürgen is a true North German through and through: rough on the surface, but with a heart of gold and unshakeable expertise. A hard-drinking, tried-and-tested sailor, he could easily have become a captain, but decided to join matev's sales force - a good choice for our customers, who can rely on his extensive knowledge and his dry but accurate manner. Jürgen is a hobby farmer with a passion for technology and an old-school salesman for whom a word still counts. With over 25 years in the industry, he is a rock in the surf - consistent, reliable and always one step ahead.

Daniela Deinzer
Daniela is in charge of work preparation and not only pulls the strings, but also has her male team firmly under control - like Snow White and her seven dwarfs. As the only woman in the group, she ensures clear processes and a good mood with wit, charm and a good dose of assertiveness. Daniela is the type of mate that everyone can turn to for advice and support, but also the boss who knows what's going on. And if something goes wrong, Lennox, our office dog and Daniela's faithful companion, is always there to help - the perfect team mum with a sense of humour and heart.

William Tawiah
The same way he plays on the offensive line in American football, he's on the front line for us, too. As the head of our sales administration department, he is always ready to advise our customers and take orders, requests and suggestions and pass them on to the company. He combines his technical expertise with the dash of a quarterback. He is our playmaker, heart and head of the sales admin team.

Tobias Seitz
Tobias is the calm mind behind our product management - and does so with typical Franconian precision. He would easily win any prize with his ‘Jugend forscht’ team, because when Tobias speaks, he always hits the nail on the head - concise, taciturn, but unshakeably accurate. At lunchtime, he can often be found with a cheese sandwich in one hand and carrots with mustard in the other - a culinary combination that is as special as his fine sense of humour. His great love, however, is ice cream (probably to cool off after all those carrots) and his beloved forest, where he recharges his batteries to stay as focussed as a true Franconian whisperer.

Kristin Meinel
Our Feel Good Manager from the very beginning. She has been making us and our customers happy for over 10 years now. With creative ideas, bold implementation and always a bit of glitter, communication is her hobbyhorse. Everything from our new market presence to the matev party and our product presentations bears her colorful signature. We are really feeling it!

Thomas Martin
Thomas keeps a tight rein on expenditure at matev - with the same calm and composure with which he breeds his tortoises at home. As Head of Purchasing, he knows exactly when to proceed slowly and deliberately and when it's time to put the pedal to the metal. With two children, he skilfully juggles family and work without losing his cool - just like his armoured protégés. Thomas likes to bring his grandad's home-distilled schnapps to company parties, which is when it becomes clear that behind the calm turtle dad is a real bon vivant!
#shoppingking
Christina Müller
Christina ensures that our goods always get from A to B on time - with a precision that is almost reminiscent of dressage riding. As a real horse fan with two four-legged friends of her own, she knows exactly how to get even the heaviest loads safely to their destination. Of course, she drives the horse trailer herself - with the same aplomb with which she has our logistics firmly under control. Her infectious, loud laugh brings a good mood to the office and gets everyone involved, because Christina is not just about high performance, but also about having fun at work.

Jürgen Oelschlegel
At matev, Jürgen is the man for our OEM customers and for markets outside Germany - from Scandinavia to Eastern Europe and the UK. With his great expertise, he confidently navigates international waters, always with a smile and a joke on his lips. While his colleagues reach for the pizza during their lunch break, Jürgen favours salad and stays fit and healthy. But it's not just his diet that is well-trained - his sense of humour always hits the mark too. Whether in a meeting or with a customer, Jürgen gets to the heart of things with a lightness of touch that you can only admire.

Andrea Herbst
She’s the savvy head with the casual style who loves to think big and from a different perspective and does so without getting carried away... and most importantly, with perfect grammar. She can smell spelling mistakes a mile away against the wind; no one has shaped the matev style, both graphically and linguistically, like she has. We have her creativity and nonchalance to thank for wordsmithery, invitations, and print media with the requisite bit of matevconviviality and a whole lot of palpitations.

Patrick Ritter
Patrick is the man you call when there's a fire - responsible for complaints management and technical support for our customers. With his charming Italian charisma, he could easily pass for ‘Don Luigi’, but underneath the sunglasses is the most Franconian Italian in the world. With Patrick, every problem is explained in detail and solved down to the last detail - no wonder he is so popular with our customers. He always has a friendly word and a steady hand at the ready to master even the most difficult cases with composure and a touch of dolce vita.
