Selected experience
Experience where industrial decisions meet execution
The experience behind Geraedts Industrial Projects spans foundry operations, engineering, international project leadership, technical-financial investment planning and senior industrial advisory.
Experience at a glance
Industrial judgement grounded in delivery
The career path behind the practice has progressed from hands-on foundry operations and engineering to the leadership of complex international projects and independent advice on operational, technical and investment decisions.
This creates a practical perspective across four questions: what is technically possible, what is operationally workable, what is financially responsible and what the organisation can realistically execute.
Verified and anonymised
Selected executive experience
Four examples show the direct connection between investment judgement, project governance and controlled execution. They remain separate because each case has its own mandate and evidence basis.
01
Industrial Project Leadership
International industrial project above €25 million
Situation
A major international project had to be delivered within a fixed completion window while scope, technical requirements and stakeholder expectations continued to evolve.
Contribution
Senior project leadership across governance, planning, stakeholder alignment, change control and execution.
Outcome
As project manager, delivered the project approximately 20% below the approved project budget.
02
Project governance and delivery
International industrial project above €10 million
Situation
A technically complex international project involved numerous stakeholders, tight milestones and changes during execution.
Contribution
Aligned stakeholders around a common baseline and focused governance on decisions, ownership, change and emerging risk.
Outcome
As project manager, delivered the project on time and approximately 20% below the approved project budget.
03
Industrial Investment Review
Investment assessment leading to lower CAPEX
Situation
A client required a technical-financial review of production machinery, the required investment and the expected operational result.
Contribution
Reviewed machinery, capacity, investment assumptions and technical feasibility, then defined the basis for the selected project.
Outcome
The assessment led to lower CAPEX and subsequently to a project with an investment value of €10 million for the same client. The founder led the subsequent project as project manager.
04
Foundry investment decision
New-foundry proposal redirected to existing production
Situation
A client was considering a new foundry and required a comparison with renewing existing production while operations continued.
Contribution
Compared technical feasibility, planning constraints, required investment and expected financial return for both alternatives.
Outcome
The assessment led to renewal of the existing production facilities, requiring less investment and offering a higher expected financial return.
These examples describe verified, anonymised experience behind Geraedts Industrial Projects. Where work predates the practice, it is presented as founder experience rather than as an unqualified company track record.
Professional progression
From foundry operations to executive industrial advisory
The relevance lies in the progression: practical operating experience, technical project definition, delivery responsibility and senior advisory work build on one another.
Foundry operations and technical foundation
Casting simulation, CAD design, production planning, quality control and technical-commercial coordination in an operating foundry environment.
Project engineering and industrial consulting
Conceptual engineering for greenfield and brownfield foundry projects, EPC project engineering, turnkey delivery and operational consulting support.
Industrial project management
Management of customer expectations, internal planning and delivery for technically complex mining-equipment projects.
International project leadership
Responsibility for large turnkey foundry projects, client and supplier negotiations, supply-chain coordination, governance and delivery control.
Senior industrial consulting
Operational and strategic assignments including productivity reviews, scrap reduction, bottleneck analysis, location and market studies, investment planning and technical due diligence.
Connection to current services
Experience applied to the decision at hand
The experience is not presented as a résumé. It provides the practical base for current assignments across investment decisions, project delivery, operational performance and transaction-related industrial questions.
Investment and executive judgement
Technical-financial planning, equipment and capacity assessment, location studies and comparison of investment alternatives.
Complex project delivery
Greenfield and brownfield projects, turnkey and EPC environments, supplier coordination, governance, change and handover.
Foundry and operational performance
Foundry operations, productivity reviews, scrap reduction, bottleneck analysis, process stability, planning and improvement priorities.
Industrial transaction perspective
Portfolio and market analysis, technical due diligence, asset and CAPEX questions, operational risk and post-decision priorities.
Professional foundation
Executive, engineering and foundry expertise
The combination supports work at the point where business decisions, technical reality and implementation capability meet.
