From Biology, Food, and Machines to Electronics

To strengthen the commercial activities in Develco’s Sales and Marketing Department we have increased our resources by employing Nana Kirk Lundgaard as a new Sales Engineer. Nana is to work with sales of our technology services within product development and production management and our development competences within electronics / hardware and embedded software.

Diploma Engineer in Biotechnology

Nana is educated as a Diploma Engineer in Biotechnology from Aarhus University. An extensive engineering education ranging widely from a mixture of chemistry and biology combined with technology and process. Electronics is not strange to Nana. During her education as a biotechnology engineer, she had courses in electronics among other things about PLC controls.

Experience with Food and Processing Equipment for the Food Industry

In her bachelor’s project, Nana developed a Proof-of-Concept POC project with a horse beans-based beverage in collaboration with AU Food and Palsgaard. In addition, Nana has experience from GEA Group, which manufactures machines for the food industry. Here she has been an intern for six months and worked as a student assistant simultaneously with her engineering studies.

As a new graduated biotechnology engineer, Nana was employed permanently in a job as a Sales Engineer at GEA Group with sales of bioreactors. She worked with a sales concept with production and cultivation of New Food products such as proteins via microorganisms in bioreactors.

“After my employment at GEA Group, I was ready to try something completely new. When the recruitment consultant contacted me about the job as a Sales Engineer at Develco, I was ready to hear more about the electronics industry. Electronics is super exciting, and there are electronics in pretty much everything. I really want to work with sales and electronics in a small Danish-owned company. Therefore, I naturally said yes when I was offered the job as a Sales Engineer at Develco.
As a biotechnology engineer, I have deliberately chosen not to work with development. I prefer to work with sales, where I can talk to a lot of people and help them with their problems. Develco develops exciting electronics products for many different customers. For that reason, Develco is the perfect workplace for me“
