Norbert Otto
Born in the middle of Stuttgart in 1955, he began his professional career, as can be expected: in the automotive industry at Porsche & VW, where he first encountered measurement technology.
In 1986, he moved into plant engineering and in 1989 directly into cleanroom technology.
In 1994, he became self-employed in the field of qualification of cleanrooms, i.e., operating rooms in hospitals, as well as sterile media such as compressed air, nitrogen, etc. Among other things, this led him to VDI 2083, to become the German delegate for ISO 14644-3, and "last but not least," to become a board member of SwissCCS (formerly SRRT).
The C-tec company is active in the qualification of cleanrooms, including compressed air, nitrogen, etc., and microbiology. The main clientele comes from pharmaceuticals, medical technology, plastics engineering, and hospitals. Additionally, the company is active in consulting and training for cleanroom technology.
