About Markus Helldörfer
With over 19 years of experience in the automotive interior design industry, I am a passionate and innovative leader in research and development (R&D). As the Head of Process Development at Eissmann Group Automotive, I oversee the development and optimization of manufacturing processes for high-quality leather and textile products. I work with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and quality managers to ensure that our products meet the highest standards of functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. Previously, I was the Office Director at Novem Car Interior Design GmbH, where I managed the engineering and technology activities for the US market, and led several R&D projects for coatings and materials. I have a strong background in communication and manufacturing skills, as well as a keen interest in the latest trends and innovations in the automotive interior design field. I am committed to delivering excellence, creativity, and value to our customers, partners, and stakeholders.
