Biography:
Györ, Hungary, 1950.
Graduate mechanical engineer. Technical colleges of Budapest Hungary and Magdeburg Germany.
Participated in conceptual and/or final design of over 100 major shiploading and ship unloading terminals worldwide. Thirty (30+) years of bulk materials handling experience was gained while working as project engineer and manager, chief engineer and vice president of engineering for a) major equipment manufacturers (Krupp Industries, Koch Transporttechnik), b) engineering companies (Robins Engineers, ORBA), and c) consulting engineering firms (Soros Associates, River Consulting). Sole proprietor of all US and international patents covering the “Twin-Orbiting-Slewing Shiploader”, the “Improved Tube Conveyor Idler Panels” and the “Moving-head with Transpassing Idlers and Constant Counterweight” in all stacker, barge and shiploader applications.
Languages: Fluent in English, German and Hungarian; fair in Spanish.
