Added David Goodfellow, President of Star SU: "Aachen University and the WZL represents state-of-the-art education and process development in gear manufacturing technology. We are very pleased to have Deniz Sari become part of our global gear technology team to help us develop gear manufacturing technology for the next generation."
After extensive training at Samputensili, Bologna, Italy, Sari will move to Star SU headquarters in Hoffman Estates, Ill.
"I am excited to join the company in a position where I can share my knowledge and skills," Sari said. "After working for the WZL of RWTH Aachen University, I look forward to putting my experience to work and implementing best-in-class systems across the company, including a strategic focus on the innovation of gear cutting tools, which will help customers grow their profits and efficiency."
