He is a communications expert, amateur historian, mediator, boss and industry enthusiast all rolled into one and talks to us about the distant past, present and future of zinc production in Germany and how he uses optimism and genuine enthusiasm to mobilise people to save the competitiveness of the last zinc smelter.
