Hello Mr. M\u00fchlon. It\u2019s great to have you on board at Bucher Hydraulics. For our people who haven\u2019t met you yet, please tell us a thing or two about yourself.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Frank M\u00fchlon: Hello and thanks for the warm welcome. Well, my name\u2019s Frank M\u00fchlon, I\u2019m 54 years old and my background is in industrial and mechanical engineering. During my career, I\u2019ve had various roles within the industry, especially automotive and more recently in the electricity sector. Outside of work, I\u2019m happily married and a proud father of two, although the kids are grown up now, one of them is still studying and the other pursuing a career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re currently living in Zug in Switzerland. Do you plan on staying there?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s right, I live in Zug in Switzerland, which is a beautiful place. But as division president, I absolutely need to be on the ground at Bucher Hydraulics HQ in Klettgau, to be close to the action. So I\u2019ll definitely be relocating to that part of southern Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your experience in the electricity sector will be of great value to Bucher Hydraulics, especially with regard to electrification. What excites you about this new challenge?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Electrification is an exciting development that I have been enthusiastically involved in for decades. Bucher Industries has this unique structure, it combines the stability of a family business with the dynamic of a publicly traded corporation. Because of the company\u2019s size and the way the divisions act autonomously, there is so much scope to forge ahead and to drive innovation. I see a great deal of potential for combining my experience with electromobility and Bucher Hydraulics\u2019 mechanical engineering expertise, especially when it comes to electrohydraulics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How familiar are you with the hydraulics industry?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I come from the world of mechanical engineering and electric technology, not hydraulics. But I can see exciting synergies between these areas, and I\u2019m really excited to expand my knowledge and put it into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you unwind after a hard day\u2019s work?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

It isn\u2019t always easy to let work go, but sports really help me wind down. I used to do a lot of running, but these days, I spend more time cycling. It helps me clear my head. At home, I\u2019m a big reader and I also love gardening and spending time outdoors, in nature \u2013 I\u2019m a big animal lover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you have pets?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

No, we don\u2019t have any pets right now. Getting a pet is always a family decision, so it isn\u2019t just up to me. But who knows what may happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bucher Hydraulics does business all over the world. Will you be visiting the various sites soon?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I absolutely intend to. Daniel Waller and I will finish getting me settled in, then visiting our international offices is next on the agenda. I want to see every part of our company for myself. It\u2019s really important to me, to connect everywhere and keep the lines open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. M\u00fchlon, thank you very much for talking with us. We wish you the best of success in your new role. Do you have any closing words you\u2019d like to say to everyone?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

My advice to anyone interested in developing their career is to face new challenges with an open mind, to see change in the industry as an opportunity. At Bucher Hydraulics, I see a promising future, with tradition and innovation working hand in hand. My basic attitude, to be open and accessible, is what drives my approach and is why I always try to work constructively with everyone. What I want to do is promote appreciation and dialog, so we can all play an active part in the company\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
