It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the sudden and unexpected passing of Dr. Joerg Schieferdecker, our Managing Director and Principal Founder.

Many of you had the privilege of working with him and experienced firsthand his openness, fairness, and genuine interest in building long-lasting partnerships. He firmly believed that enduring business relationships are founded on trust, mutual respect, and shared success - principles that will continue to guide our company. In this difficult time, our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

Several ground drillings and the corresponding pipes are being installed at a depth of about 100 meters. And this is what the geothermal driller looks like in action in the thermal video.
