I have been a contractor at KW automotive in the suspension field from 1998 to 2019. I founded the racing and shockabsorber R&D department there and headed it for many years. My last project was, establishing similar structures and resources at KW automotive North Anmerica and forwarding my experience and expertise to the young colleagues there. Layouts for suspensions from scratch, shock absorber design and the asociated setup work is still one of my core expertises. This starts with the concept, includes the design of the components and the final tuning by driving. Even if don‘t do this as a daily business any more, my engine customers might still benefit from my experience in this field.
