Ruud Helders (FLEXIM)Started in 1980 as a production worker at the company Foxboro. In the course of my work, I followed a 4-year evening of mechanical engineering study and successfully completed it. After having worked for Foxboro for 10 years, I ended up in Germany for my work and came into contact with the Ultrasonic clamp-on measuring technique for the first time. From 1990 to 1998, I worked as a product specialist for Controlotron. In the meantime we are almost 30 years further and I have worked with almost all current suppliers of Ultrasonic clamp-on. Because I come from practice, over the years I have gained a lot of experience with other measurement principles, such as Mag meters, Coriolis, Vortex, Measuring Discs. Before I joined Flexim as general manager on 1 January 2019, I worked for 3.5 years at Endress+Hauser as Product Manager Flow and Industry Manager Oil&Gas. I have been working in the field of measurement & control technology for 40 years now and my extensive practical experience means that we are able to rise to any challenge. Our strength is out off the box thinking. If you have a challenging application for which your current supplier cannot offer a solution, think of Flexim.Expert in: Flow Control and Measurement
