Management

Harald Buchmann was born in Bayreuth, Germany in 1968. After graduating in physics and business studies at the University of Bayreuth, he joined the Hermos corporate group in 1996. At HERMOS Gesellschaft fuer technische Informatik mbH he was responsible for structuring the sales network and marketing planning. Over a period of six years he drove the company's development from a start-up to become a producer of RFID components with a worldwide reputation. As managing partner he was responsible for strategic business planning, the formation of alliances and partnerships as well as innovation and technology management.

In 2002 the Bavarian-based business was taken over by Brooks Automation. This was a strategic milestone for its successful entry into the expanding RFID market. Since then, Harald Buchmann - as Director of RFID Systems - has been managing the fortunes of the globally operating business unit. After the takeover, he successfully integrated the RFID division into the structures of the listed technology enterprise. Since October 2004 Harald Buchmann has been a member of the executive of Brooks Automation (Germany) GmbH.
