技术管理


根据设计和工程设计工艺的不同部分，公司技术队伍分为数个部门。技术小组负责概念开发和初步设计参数的定义， 而设计办公室则对安装的所有方面提供详细的方案。系统和设备由系统工程设计小组负责。

玻璃调节（流液洞以后的所有部分）由一个单独的玻璃调节部门（1976年成立）负责，因为在使用中， 它包括了安装寿命期间从安装工作到计划维修和修理。

最后，研发是另一个单独的小组，独立于技术队伍涉及的日常业务的那些部分。

Sylvio Lauerbach


Sylvio Lauerbach

Head of the Systems Engineering department


The current head of the Systems Engineering Department was already working with computers during the 1980s, before going on to complete two degree courses in medical equipment technology and electrical engineering. Part of the second course involved the development of a mathematical model for the calculation of special temperature and flow path distributions in glass melting furnaces. Part of the model that he helped create is still in use by SORG today.
When he joined the Company he was closely involved with the introduction of mathematical modelling. He was promoted to head of the Metering and Control Dept. in 1997 and took up his present post after a reorganisation of the technical departments in 2005.

Roland Kohl

Head of the Design Office


Roland joined SORG as an apprentice draughtsman in 1970 and so is one of our “home-grown” colleagues. After successful completion of his apprenticeship he went on to qualify as a Building Technology engineer (the nearest thing to building furnaces!). He was appointed head of the Design Office in 1990 – the position he still holds.
He is responsible for all detail design issues within the Company and heads the largest single group of Nikolaus Sorg employees – nearly 40 design office members.
