Notably, he worked for a number of years with a world-leading company producing plastic injection-molding machines as international sales project manager, responsible for all offers from incoming orders up to the final delivery of the machines.

He then moved on to the R&D department of a manufacturing company of motor-gear transmissions in Lower-Austria for 1 year and gained experience in the areas of quality control and production.
