Since 2011 the sealing industry has been at the heart of my professional career. I\u2019ve focused on application engineering, sales &amp; business development in New Zealand and Germany. In April 2021 I decided to leave the corporate world behind and create my own luck. Unsure what challenge to face next and after some lengthy discussions with Craig, I was convinced to join forces and become a part of the SealLAB team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Technical Sales Director it is my responsibility to understand your needs and ensure our products meet your application requirements. Our global partners and the sealing network I have built over the past ten years are at your disposal. SealLAB will find you a suitable solution for any application, delivered on time at a great price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the weekends, I enjoy spending time with the family. We all love the beach and catching waves on our boards. As I\u2019m German, I naturally enjoy a good game of football (Fu\u00dfball). We enjoy international travel and most of our holidays are spent abroad with our multi-cultural family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To Be Confirmed <\/strong>&#8211; North Island Territory Manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are recruiting for these exciting roles? if you think you have what it takes to join the <strong>SealLAB<\/strong> family then send through your CV to sales@seallab.co.nz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To Be Confirmed<\/strong> &#8211; South Island Territory Manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are recruiting for these exciting roles? if you think you have what it takes to join the <strong>SealLAB<\/strong> family then send through your CV to sales@seallab.co.nz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Craig Hatfull &#8211; Managing Director A challenger of the status quo but a mechanical engineer at heart.
