Dietmar Valentinitsch
Senior Consultant
Ing. Mag. Art
Dietmar Valentinitsch founded the company in 1982, after leaving I.D.Pool, where he partnered Prof. Ernst Beranek & Harry Kubelka.
Prior to that he was creative director of Dachstein where he invented the world´s first plastic ski-boot in 1970 - by then a revolution.
Numerous revolutions were about to follow: the famous MAM baby soother, Battenfeld, the world´s first fully housed injection molding machine, or
the U6 low floor tramway in Vienna, still doing it´s duty and still looking modern - just a few to mention.
For many years Dietmar was the vice president of the ÖIF (Österreichisches Institut für Formgebung) next to Carl Auböck II.
A true austrian design pioneer who has clearly set his his mark - numerous awards are the proof.
Between 1990 to 2010 Dietmar Valentinitsch taught Product- and Industrial Design a the HTL Sankt Pölten and the Kolleg Pöchlarn, where he was a founding member.
Dietmar is now our senior consultant - but honestly, he prefers flying planes, sailing boats or doing other dangerous sports.
He is happy to fly in for special, preferably dangerous occasions.
