Michael Privik has been a member of Spectro's management team since 2016 and moved to the top at the turn of the year. Born in Duisburg, he started working for the company back in 1991. After his beginnings in the customer center, he played a key role in setting up the X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) division and headed the applications laboratory there. He finally switched to sales, where he held various positions up to EMEA sales management. In 2016, Privik became managing director, Global Sales & Marketing.

"Over the course of my 30 years at Spectro, I have experienced all the ups and downs. Today, Spectro is in an excellent position - we have qualified employees, state-of-the-art technologies and market-leading products," Privik explained. However, he added, there are also challenges to overcome. In particular, rising inflation and the global shortage of materials. But he is sure that he will find the right answers.
