Technology in mind, people at the heart of it all
Some passions stay with you for a lifetime. For Philippe Scheuber, this passion is Asia. During a six-month stay in China, he immersed himself in the country’s language, culture, and way of life – an experience that continues to shape him to this day. Back then, however, he never imagined that this passion would one day become part of his professional life.
His career began with a degree in mechanical engineering from ETH Zurich and led him to spend many years with a large German industrial company. There, he worked on demanding technical applications and developed a deep understanding of complex systems down to the smallest detail. At the same time, he realized that in a large corporation, many roles are naturally highly specialized. What always appealed to him, however, was seeing the bigger picture: understanding technical interrelationships, connecting different disciplines, and supporting projects from a holistic perspective.
He found this very combination of technical depth and entrepreneurial thinking at Bomatec AG nearly five years ago. Today, as Head of Sales and Project Management, Philippe leads a division where technology, customer needs, and international collaboration come together. He particularly values the short decision-making paths and the agility of a mid-sized company: Ideas can be discussed directly, challenges addressed quickly, and innovations implemented efficiently.
“What I find fascinating is understanding the technical details and working together with our customers, to develop the best overall solution. It is precisely this combination of technology, people, and different cultures that makes my profession so varied.”
Philippe Scheuber : Head of Sales and Projects
For him, one of the most rewarding aspects of his role is helping shape the journey from the first customer inquiry to the finished product. Close collaboration with our customers, our manufacturing sites in Malaysia, and long-standing partners in China plays a central role in this. Philippe sees himself less as a salesperson and more as a problem solver. His goal is to gain a thorough understanding of each customer’s requirements and to work closely with the teams to develop solutions that are technically sound and deliver lasting value.
The fact that his work regularly takes him to Malaysia and China brings his journey full circle. The countries that first sparked his fascination at a young age are now an important part of his everyday professional life. Working with people from different cultures and collaborating across continents means that no two days are ever the same.
And when Philippe is not traveling or working on technical projects, he can often be found in the Swiss mountains. Whether skiing in winter or hiking in summer, the mountains are where he unwinds, enjoys the outdoors, and recharges.
