I am a Crystal grower at
heart, but have beenin
manufacturing since 94’ at
Unisil, i was hired as machine
operator in the semiconductor
industry. In no time I became a

few years i was moved to the
engineering departmentand
became the scheduler and

In 2001 I was recruited
to WestCoast Quartz as a start up
for their siliconbusiness. Iwent
in as a senior process engineer,
