Burkhard Quellenberg (47) is Oxea's new Global Director Human Resources. His previous career has included management positions at IT multinational Bull and mechanical engineers Manitowoc Germany. An occupational and organizational psychologist by trade, Quellenberg held a number of positions at SABIC Europe, most recently HR Director Business & Functions Europe, before moving to Oxea.
Strategically, Quellenberg prioritizes human resource development: "Over the last few years, Oxea has been recognized time and again as an exceptionally employee-focused business. I see that as our brief for the future: we will use systematic training and human resource development to become even better adapted to the challenges of demographic change. As an attractive employer, we will also continue to promote programs that help our employees stay fit and healthy," continues Quellenberg.
Employing over 1,400 people, Oxea is one of the world's key producers of oxo chemicals, which are used internationally by industrial manufacturers to create products such as phthalate-free plastics, high-quality coatings and energy-efficient lubricants, as well as cosmetic and pharmaceutical goods.
