    Thank you for your time, Klaus. Shall we start with you telling us a little bit about yourself?

    My name is Klaus Wandler, and I head the strategic procurement function for APAGCoSyst. I have just completed my 40th year in the industry and I have worked mostly with automotive companies. One of the most impactful experiences in my career was my time with Faurecia, now called Forvia, where I worked for seven years. This was a great opportunity for me as I was exposed to many different functions of business, including logistics, and supply chain. This experience helped me understand the lifecycle of materials in each of its stages until it reaches the customer.
