As external consultant in Indonesia, Julian is in constant contact with suppliers and production partners, he takes a keen interest in reproduction – when it comes to new rattan plantations. Julian is also one of our founders; he can claim a decent share of responsibility for the ingenious idea that is the nature tech material karuun®.

If there’s anyone in our ranks who fits the Allgäu cliché of being a craftsman and a grafter then it has to be our Material Developer, Peter. As a co-founder and technical mastermind, we have him to thank for developing karuun® into a fully-fledged product. That and the saying “Not possible? Impossible!”

One of the few downsides about working here: you’re not one of Felix’s customers. As our salesman extraordinaire, he’s responsible for making sure our customers in the architecture, automotive and consumer goods industries are happy. Felix is a big part of why we’re successful.

Moritz’s creative mind has been key in shaping karuun® product developments right from the early days. Drawing on impressive carpentry and product design skills, the ideas he comes up with are downright awesome!

From the jungle to car interiors: Felix (a.k.a. Harry) ensures that our nature tech material makes it from being (fairly) produced in Indonesia all the way to our customers around the globe. As they say, ‘Every person has their own load to bear’, Felix, however, has tons of them… stay strong dude!

Rainer is a true machine when it comes to our machines. His expertise is literally built into our (patented) production processes and systems. And therefore into every square centimetre of karuun® in the world.

Our aim is to make the world a little bit better, so it´s helpful if we talk about it. To manage this task, Christina is our first new team member from Saarland. On top of that she supplies everybody with handmade upcyling unique pieces. Therefore, she is a specialist in all sustainability and marketing topics.

We forgot to mention that most of us surf. Vera too, of course. If not in Indonesia, then on our wave of success, which she contributes to in a major way with her dazzling customer support skills.

Our hero of sales loves nothing more than being on the road. When he’s not travelling about in his T5, Manuel uses his considerable experience to drive karuun® along on the road to success. As a capable product manager, he’s the friendly face of our innovative products for our clients in the automotive industry.

Aim for the top – that’s our senior R&D project manager’s motto. It not only applies to Sven’s attitude in the mountains, but also when he’s striking up forward-thinking collaborations and launching pioneering projects with our nature tech material karuun®.

Teresa is a talented all-rounder who absolutely smashes it, both at work and on the badminton court. With the crucial facts and figures at her fingertips, she orchestrates all internal and external communications about our nature tech material.

In all honesty, we have so much to do that we wouldn’t manage without Hendrik. Not only does he keep track of our international supply chains, but he’s our in-house postilion too. Come to think of it, he could go into the bike rental business as well; all of us have such a blast riding around on his e-cargo bike.

Saptomo is our first Indonesian employee, he supports the team at our production facility in Indonesia. With his friendly nature and decades of experience in quality management, Saptomo makes sure that karuun® materials are manufactured to the highest standards across all our production sites.

Stranded in Indonesia, literally: as a design engineer (and surfer), Stefan liked Indonesia so much that he chose the islands over our Allgäu homeland (unbelievable!). Now he’s at over our production sites making sure everything runs smoothly.

Rayno takes care of our production facilities in Indonesia. With a vast background in the manufacturing industry, he understands the landscape and challenges of producing our high-quality Nature Tech Material. At our production facilities, he ensures the natural perfection of karuun®.

Miriam is the visionary behind the creative output at karuun®. Based in Stuttgart, our Creative and Art Director applies her superlative sense for visual style to design and coordinate all our print and digital media.

Not only in acroyoga, but also as a self-employed carpenter and wood technician he keeps the balance. From brushing and sanding to our finished samples and prototypes, Christoph is versatile. He uses his expertise to bring out the best in our Nature Tech Materials.

Benedikt’s role is more than just electrical. He is responsible for the automation of our production processes, as well as being our back-up for the electrics of our systems and our office. His skills are varied and indispensable – a real all-round talent!
