Expanding the team for the second time this year already, Genan, welcomes Michael Christensen as new Application Development Manager as of 1 February 2023.
“As Application Development Manager at Genan, Michael Christensen will be taking on the role as link-builder between our Sales, Innovation and Marketing Teams – and he will be cooperating closely with both our Production and Quality departments. This function requires both experience and product knowledge, and Michael’s many years in the industry make him the ideal candidate for this task. With a lot of innovative projects in the pipeline, his in-depth understanding of both business and products will be essential for the future development of these activities,” says Group CCO Thomas Ballegaard.
Michael Christensen lives in Denmark and will primarily be working from his office at the plant in Viborg. With more than 40 years of experience in tyre and rubber recycling, Michael Christensen brings great knowhow and expertise to support the many teams within the Genan organisation.
“I am both proud and happy to be given the opportunity to be part of the team at Genan. I have followed Genan since the early 90s and know what Genan stands for. As recycling and sustainability as a part of the green agenda is a passion of mine, the job function as Application Development Manager at Genan fits perfectly,” says Michael Christensen with great enthusiasm.
Michael Christensen has spent the last 25 years of his career in the rubber industry, focusing on the recycling of – and the production of rubber granulate from – worn-out tyres across Europe. Through this work, he has built up a strong network in various industries. A network with key knowledge and insight when it comes to developing new applications for recycled rubber.
“My onboarding programme has been great, and I look forward to working with both colleagues and customers in innovation and application development. I hope that I can successfully support the whole Genan team across all the factories, contributing with my knowhow, my network contacts and my experience,” Michael Christensen rounds off.
