Matthias Wittwer

Mr. Lauer and his team guided us safely through the jungle of paragraphs and guidelines and reliably found the best solution for us. We know that if we let him do a job, we do not have to do anything afterwards. Lauer CE-Safety GmbH is absolutely reliable.

Matthias Wittwer,
Technical Manager and Member of the Management Board Schlatter Germany

The Schlatter Group, headquartered in Switzerland, is a global technology leader in the plant engineering and construction of resistance welding machines and weaving machines for the production of special wire cloth. In addition to welding systems, the German subsidiary in Münster develops and manufactures weaving and finishing machines of the brand “Jäger” for the paper machine industry.

Matthias Wittwer: “When I joined Schlatter Germany, Mr. Lauer was already well known in the company as a competence. He advises and supports us in risk assessments, operating instructions, verification and validation of control safety functions and trains our teams in all aspects of CE marking. A good example of his work is the preparation and implementation of the new Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC in our company.

After all, in this complex directive there is not only right and wrong, but there is also room for manoeuvre, which must be interpreted and interpreted correctly. Operational safety is extremely important to us, because on the one hand nothing must happen to our customers’ employees on our machines, and on the other hand we naturally do not want to be accused of negligence. Just as one consults a lawyer in legal matters, we have benefited greatly from Mr. Lauer’s know-how in this difficult matter through advice and training.

I am convinced that Mr. Lauer is very well versed in this difficult matter and is an expert in this field. We also experience him and his staff as very pleasant on a human level. Mr. Lauer is uncomplicated, very concentrated and goal-oriented and always keeps an overview. We are very satisfied with Lauer CE-Safety GmbH and will continue to use his services in the future.”
