Mats Kretz

It all started when I was growing up as a kid, with three earlier generations working at Vipo and sharing various stories about the products we deliver to the Oil & Gas industry.

Production Planner / Supervisor

What appealed to me about starting at Vipo was the opportunity to work within the Oil and Gas industry, with a special focus on Elastopipe™. Therefore, I began as a Production Operator, working with various products in the Thermal Business group. Since then, I have advanced within the company, taking on supervisory responsibilities in the PU department and now serving as a Production Planner.


My responsibility is to operate and plan the production for the various products we deliver in different markets. In production, the role of a production planner and supervisor is to ensure optimal organization within the production team and manage resources for an efficient production flow.
