About us: Krügel & Partner
I founded Krügel & Partner in 2018 to help my clients make their laboratory processes more efficient.
With more than 20 years of experience in various positions in analytical laboratories, from laboratory manager to managing director, I’ve always worked to improve the success of analytical laboratories by increasing value added and customer focus, innovating services, improving processes or increasing profitability.
My curiosity about the optimisation of processes for the benefit of the organisation is what drives me to meet and support new people and organisations.
To find the best solution, I work independently of products or manufacturers.
If necessary, I work temporarily or on a project basis with the specialists from my network who are needed to find the solution in order to offer attractive conditions.
