The Secret of Belimo's Success

No matter what kind of problem you have to solve: Look for the true bottleneck, although it's not always easy to find, and concentrate your efforts on clearing that bottleneck. When you find the right course of action for a given situation, don't hesitate to put it into action. Author Walter Burkhalter is a founding member of Belimo and was its first employee. As CEO and a member of the Board of Directors, he played an instrumental role in growing the company from its humble beginnings into a global market leader before retiring at the age of 66 in 1999. From then until 2007, he continued to contribute to the company's positive development as a member of the Supervisory Board. The EKS strategy described in this book was a critical factor in the story of Belimo's success. Therefore, not a single statement in this book is just theory. Everything has been put to the test in practice, and is related firsthand by the person responsible for its implementation.
