Welcome to the team, Erik!

We are thrilled to welcome Erik Galdames as Business Development Manager for the Spanish and Portuguese Market.

Erik brings strong experience in the application of coatings, both as a job-coater of our products and in electroplated coatings. He has extensive experience in coefficient of friction testing requirements and in the applications, as well as in the manufacturing of threaded fasteners for the automotive and wind industries. He also has knowledge in corrosion test requirements and the real-world corrosion performance of coatings.

In addition, he is familiar with the coating specifications for the automotive and wind sectors and has a deep knowledge of related international standards and customer specifications.

Combining this technical background with a strategic view and understanding of the market and our customers, he is ready to provide support in the growth of our business in the Spanish and Portuguese markets and to identify potential needs.

“I understand my profession as a commitment not only to driving business growth, but also to expanding knowledge within the field so that this progress is shared across the entire team. This should be the foundation for future improvement and a source of inspiration for the new generation joining our community as they take on the challenges ahead.”

We are excited to have Erik on board and wish him every success in this new chapter at NOF MCEU!
