Seasoned supply chain professional joins AMSilk

19/05/2017
Synthetic silk biopolymer developer AMSilk has appointed Volker Wagner-Solbach as its new procurement and supply chain manager. Dr Wagner-Solbach’s role will be to make sure AMSilk’s external production partners can help it meet what the company has called “increasing demand” for its Biosteel fibres.

Volker Wagner-Solbach has worked in the chemical and textile industry for 20 years, with a focus on international trade and innovation. His previous experience includes roles at Bayern Innovativ GmbH, a technology think-tank run by the state of Bavaria and the ownership and running of a biochemistry consultancy called Sanomol.

He said at the time of his new appointment that he has been in contact with AMSilk since 2011. He said: “Silk is a fantastic product and the innovative biotechnological manufacturing process of AMSilk is the best chemistry can do today. The realisation of the company aims regarding the production of silk biopolymers on an industrial scale is a very exciting challenge for me.”
