Dirk Kaussen, MBA
I have been active in electronics manufacturing since 1986 – from establishing production lines, leading teams, and developing quality processes to founding and managing my own EMS company in Germany.
At EMS Strategy Group, I am responsible for the strategic direction and operational support of outsourced electronics manufacturing across Europe.
My focus areas include EMS partner selection, supply chain resilience, and the reliable transition into serial production. Extensive international experience – including several years of operational responsibility in Brazil – shapes my practical approach to complex manufacturing transfers and sourcing projects.
My focus is not on short-term cost reductions, but on building stable and resilient manufacturing structures. Manufacturing costs are only one factor – robust processes, clearly defined interfaces, and professional obsolescence management are what create long-term value.
