FROM PIONEER TO MARKET LEADER

“In view of rising energy prices and political demands for technologies with a low global warming potential, the cooling industry must meet new challenges. The development of environmentally friendly and climate-neutral solutions, and the optimization of existing systems, have been our core business at Fahrenheit for many years. Fahrenheit GmbH is an innovative, cool employer, and keeps on offering new and exciting development challenges.”

Steffen Kühnert is Technical Director at FAHRENHEIT. He joined the company in 2007 as development engineer. From then, he took on responsibility for both product development and manufacturing. Prior to joining FAHRENHEIT, Steffen Kühnert had been working for engineering companies. He started his career by serving seven years in the German armed forces.

Steffen Kühnert completed an apprenticeship as a cutting machine operator and holds a diploma in Mechanical Engineering.

“Environmentally friendly adsorption processes make most sense if they are supported by a resource-friendly use of materials. When used correctly, readily available and non-toxic adsorbent substances can provide the best cooling or heating performance even in small quantities. At Fahrenheit, we recognized this early on, and developed the technology to grow zeolites directly and in precisely defined layers on optimally designed components. Interesting follow-on questions, and the innovative climate at Fahrenheit, have since led to many other innovations.”

Dr. Ralph Herrmann is in charge of research and development at FAHRENHEIT. Trained as a chemist, Dr. Herrmann dedicated a large part of his professional life to researching and evolving zeolite crystals. He holds numerous patents in this field. Since 2004, he has been applying his expertise at FAHRENHEIT.

Before joining FAHRENHEIT, Dr. Herrmann obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Halle, and spent several years at the University of Erlangen as a researcher and as a lecturer for chemical engineers.

“All our customers have different requirements, needs, and challenges regarding their companies, buildings, and processes. What they share is the desire to implement sustainable and effective cooling solutions. Finding the most sensible approach, and balacing the right levels of ecology and economy together with our customers, is an exciting process in which we constantly get to know interesting people and new industries.”

Gregor Feig is in charge of sales for adsorption chillers. Mr. Feig, who is originally an architect, first joined our company in 2011 as Sales Manager for Southern Germany. In the meantime, he served a stint as Sales Manager for a maker of digital building models and simulations. Prior to joining FAHRENHEIT, he has worked in various sales functions, including in his own business. He started his career as a planner in engineering companies.

Gregor Feig completed his architectural studies at the University for Applied Sciences in Regensburg.
