Leadership Team Meeting in Suhl, Germany
Profectus GmbH Electronic Solutions in Suhl has been part of the Cicor family since January 2025, and we feel very much at home here. We have since changed our name to Cicor Profectus Electronic GmbH and, in May 2025, we hosted our first LTM. We were extremely proud and excited, of course. Would everything go smoothly? What would our colleagues think? Would everyone feel at home in Suhl?
Everything went smoothly! We had lively personal exchanges, made new friends and, above all, looked to the future of Cicor with confidence and a constructive mindset. How can we shape this future, how can we continue to develop and how can Profectus contribute to the successful development of Cicor?
We started in Oberhof, a well-known winter sports resort in Thuringia, not far from Suhl. We spent Tuesday evening at the Cortina restaurant in Oberhof, getting to know each other personally and strengthening our team spirit and family cohesion.
After breakfast together on Wednesday morning, it was time to visit Profectus. It was only a short 10-minute walk from the hotel to Profectus. At Profectus, the focus of the tour was on the company itself and its areas of technology: ‘sustainable energy supply/nitrogen production’, ‘flying probe’ and ‘customer-specific test field’.
More than 50% of Profectus' total energy requirements are sourced from its own solar park. The solar park, with a capacity of 850 KWP, generates approximately 800,000 KWH per year. The energy obtained from the solar park is used to supply the company's own nitrogen production. We can store the nitrogen required for our production in ‘storage bundles’ for up to 10 days, which is referred to as ‘indirect energy storage’. This process is unique and pioneering in our industry.
In flying probe testing, our Spea 4080 is a high-tech, multifunctional flying probe tester with 8 test heads that can be used to test electronic circuit boards and modules in large quantities. Flying probe tests can be carried out both inline and with manual loading.
Our philosophy is to build long-term customer loyalty. To this end, Profectus has set up its own test facility comprising hardware and software in collaboration with its most important customer in the security sector. All functions that are possible in the field are tested on the circuit board. This is based on expert development work carried out in collaboration with the customer to develop these test systems.
We agreed that Profectus is technologically well positioned and an ideal addition to the Cicor family.
Following the Profectus tour, we gathered for the Leadership Team Meeting. Alexander Hagemann, Peter Neumann and Marco Kechele reported on the current developments at Cicor and our further strategic approaches.
It was an intensive meeting, which was also attended by our new colleagues from France, and we agreed that Cicor is facing interesting challenges and that we have excellent prospects.
Together we can do it, and we look forward to the next LTM.
