Hanno has been Managing Director of Amari Metals since 2009. In the seventeen years prior to this, he had already built up a wealth of experience in the metal sector, in a wide variety of positions. Since 2009, he has been guiding the company’s focus towards aluminium extrusion, with Amari increasingly fulfilling the role of a partner rather than a supplier. This was further strengthened in 2012 with the move to the current premises in Vianen, from where Amari was able to increase its service offering. ‘We are part of a chain: there is no metal without a producer and no product without an end user. We are the link between the two.’

‘Amari feels like family to me. We have a great team, a good mix of experience and young talent, and the social aspect is what unites us all. We share our joys and sorrows here.’

Like many other employees, Hanno loves sports. He is a football fan, likes to ride a racing bike, walks regularly and he swims every morning in summer. He also loves Italy, enjoys cooking, good food and his two daughters. And if he still has time left: ‘I am perfectly capable of doing absolutely nothing for while.’
