Manfred Zoermer (born 1965) started his professional career at Hybritech GmbH as a sales engineer for medical analytical technology within the sales area Baden-Wuerttemberg, after studying chemistry (with focus on inorganic and high energy chemistry). Several global positions in his career at suppliers of microelectronics, MEMS and compound semiconductors connected him directly with up-to-date clean room technology and led to a high affinity to this special process environment. After further positions within and outside the air filter industry from sales director to marketing manager, he joined MANN+HUMMEL Air Filtration at the beginning of 2020 as product manager airborne molecular contamination (AMC). In this position, he is responsible for the development of a broadband product portfolio, particularly introducing chemical process technology to the air filter community.
