1982: Nicole wins the Eurovision Song Contest with ‘Ein bisschen Frieden’, the legendary group ABBA splits up and the trained electrician and advanced electronics technician Armin Sigrist joins DESMA in May.

Armin Sigrist started with us in electrical assembly, final inspection and initial commissioning of machines.

In 1983 Armin then completed various courses in software programming, hydraulics and electrical design for the creation of E-plans and support of the software.

When in 1985 our service technician at that time, Walter Frick, went to DESMA in the USA for one year, Armin took over this position and from then on was on the road as a service technician at our customers and also at trade shows.
Fun Fact on the side: Walter Frick liked it so much with our colleagues in the USA that he is still there to this day.

Two years later, Armin took over the job of customer service advisor in the sales department with occasional service calls. Teleservice for customers, support by teleservice of the service technicians DESMA Fridingen and DESMA Achim, deployment planning for three service technicians at that time were part of his daily tasks here. Furthermore Armin was the interface between the technical departments of DESMA Fridingen and DESMA Achim.

In 1993 the two plants were restructured. Thus the core competence of DESMA in Fridingen was put on rubber injection molding machines and that of DESMA Achim on shoe machines. Due to this restructuring, 20 service technicians came from Achim to Fridingen to work for the rubber division – these service technicians were managed by Armin as assignment planner and in addition he was appointed as deputy customer service manager. 16 years later, Armin attended another training course in Hanau as a service manager and has remained loyal to his job and our company for 35 years and for this we would like to thank Armin Sigrist very much.

Congratulations on your company anniversary!
