About Nicolai

I support companies in plastics technology, automotive, and mechanical engineering in efficiently designing injection molding processes and transparently calculating costs.

With over 9 years of experience in the manufacturing of 1K and 2K injection molded parts, assembly of components, and supplier management, I combine technical expertise with commercial competence. This allows me to analyze production processes as well as prepare economically sound decisions.

My focus areas:

Cost calculation & offer evaluation (tool and part costs, amortization, series production)

Process optimization (SMED, material flow, lean methods)

Technical consulting on manufacturing concepts, assembly processes, and framework agreements

Supplier & project management in an international environment

Customers benefit from clear analyses, practical solutions, and measurable savings.
