Felix Altenbach
Felix Altenbach was born on August 24, 1982, in the Principality of Lippe. Growing up in the old Hanseatic city of Lemgo, he found his way into the insurance industry in 2000, where he remained loyal until 2008. At the end of 2008, his path led him into the industry, where he served as Liquid Gas Department Manager at the French company Total until 2011. During this time, he also left his homeland of East Westphalia-Lippe and moved to the outskirts of Düsseldorf on the Lower Rhine.
Since January 1, 2012, Felix Altenbach has been with Dycem Ltd., based in Bristol, United Kingdom, where he also relocated his private residence. His areas of responsibility include Central Europe and the Middle East. His core task is the implementation of polymeric flooring systems to protect critical areas. Key focus areas of Felix Altenbach's work are pharmaceuticals, the semiconductor industry, the automotive sector, as well as the food industry and the nuclear sector. His private interests, besides (work-related) travel, include literature, wine, and aviation.
Remaining loyal, albeit on an inactive basis, Felix Altenbach maintains his connection to his homeland through his existing membership in the Shooting Guild of the City of Lage from 1509 e.V.
