1. What new technologies excite you the most?
I think one of the biggest trends in our industry is how every new chip generation keeps getting more efficient, more capable, and more advanced. What really excites me is knowing that the next wave could bring optical chipsets, and maybe even quantum computing will step in. It feels amazing to be right in the middle of all these new developments shaping the future.

With our additional investor, we are targeting to grow on a global perspective, not only covering Europe and North America as we do today, but also entering the Asian market together to ensure a global growth perspective and covering all major markets around the world.
3. How is APAGCoSyst making operations more sustainable?
Sustainability in our industry is closely linked to electricity consumption, making process efficiency a key focus. We work step by step to optimize every area, some changes are big, others small, like switching from hand to robotic soldering, but together they have a tremendous impact. At the same time, CSR is part of our daily work, from process improvements to reducing our carbon footprint, which often aligns with economic benefits.
4. How will AI shape your operations?
We expect that AI is and will be shaping our industry in all kinds of aspects from documentation over task tracking edge of project management up to even programming of equipment and automatic detection of failure with optimized strategies of resolving them. We are already putting a lot of efforts in analyzing what can be done today and how can we be ready for the next steps to come.
5. How does APAG attract young talent?
For us, talent attraction naturally connects to retention, especially with younger generations. That’s why we stay active across social media to reach and inspire the next wave of talent. But attraction is only the first step, we also create an environment where people can grow, see long-term opportunities, and build their careers. What sets us apart is combining that perspective with real freedom in daily work, something I haven’t experienced otherwise.

We are constantly supporting our teams by driving them forward with crowd-sourced initiatives, providing benchmark studies, and staying on top of the latest market developments so everyone knows the direction to take.
