INSTRUCTOR DIPL-ING. BERNHARD RICHTER

After he graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Stuttgart, Bernhard Richter was employed by one of the world’s leading sealing manufacturers for more than ten years, seven of which were spent as Head of Applications Engineering of the European O-Ring Division. Soon after, he founded the O-Ring Prüflabor Richter in 1996 and has since passed on his knowledge in seminars throughout the year.

His ability to comprehensively understand complex correlations is particularly appreciated. Furthermore, he is not afraid to provide the user with clear decision criteria. He has been an expert in the ISO Working Group on O-Ring Standardization (ISO 3601) for more than ten years and is well known for his numerous publications.
