With studies in material engineering and mechanical and thermal properties at the Nancy School of Mines, he is a specialist in the performance of insulation materials with an eye for detail.
Grégory Tanay is our Sales Manager for Technical Solutions in France. His university degrees in physical and quality management steered him away from his passion, which is traveling, but opened for him a whole new world of insulation business where he found his calling.
Agustin Perez from Barcelona is Key Account Manager Iberia and Latin America and his dedication to the insulation business is unmatched, as he has dedicated his entire career to working in the insulation sector, where he trained in both technical and commercial areas. Agustin has been a much valued member of the Knauf Insulation OEM team for 8 years and has 5 years ago joined also our TS team. At first it was a challenge for him, as the TS is a bit different from the OEM segment, but much efforts, his skills and the support from the colleagues, soon paid off and now days he feels very good in his shoes.

He is a devoted father and a great colleague who inspires his team with his positive attitude and determination. He studied civil engineering and water resources management and hydrotechnics.

With technical insulation that acts as a passive fire protection, Pavol probably prevented more fires than most of us.
