He was employed in Germany for a number of years, which allowed him to develop his proficiency in German and embrace German values. When Waldemar Graf undertook a project in China, Yao Tianshun was responsible for control engineering in his project team. Due to the excellent, professional working relationship, the cooperative partnership between Graf and Tianshun was strengthened, culminating in the founding of a joint company in Hefei.

Waldemar Graf

Managing Director

• Project Manager with international experience (DE, CH, IN, RU, VN, CN)
• A variety of success stories within the scope of investment projects in the automotive, e-mobility and plant and mechanical engineering industries
• Lead in undertaking national and international turnkey projects
• Responsible for planning, project management and construction site management of different production and assembly lines worldwide
• Intercultural expertise in leadership and working with international project teams
• Communicative beyond hierarchical boundaries

The son of a Russian entrepreneur, Waldemar Graf spent his formative years up to the age of seven in Siberia. When the Soviet Union collapsed, times became increasingly more difficult, forcing the family to give up their business and find a means of escape. Thanks to German roots, the family was able to emigrate to Germany, where they had to start afresh. Graf completed his school and university studies in Mannheim while pursuing athletics at a competitive level. After graduating as a mechanical engineer, he started out as a factory planner in the power plant sector until he was afforded an exciting opportunity to switch sectors and become involved in the construction of an engine plant in Russia. This marked the start of his journey into project management and paved the way for his move into self-employment at an early stage. From 2014, Graf planned and undertook national and international projects as an independent project manager on behalf of renowned companies and is now able to look back on seven years’ experience abroad and successful completion of eight turnkey projects. Among other achievements, he has successfully implemented a production process in India and planned and delivered production and assembly lines in Russia, China, Vietnam, Switzerland and Germany. Eventually, he set up Faircom Industry Solutions GmbH in 2020. Since then, he and his growing team assist renowned companies in undertaking complex, vital investment projects both in Germany and internationally. He prioritises establishing effective project structures and ensuring a transparent communication culture with the aim of executing projects as efficiently as possible. He increasingly serves as both an operational and strategic consultant to executive and senior management in implementing complex projects, particularly in the field of e-mobility.

• Responsible for planning and setting up different production and assembly lines

The graduate mechanical engineer first took managing positions in different sectors for national and international companies. As a specialist in complex planning, Thelen became indispensable as an independent consultant in undertaking many critical projects and relocations. With his pragmatic, determined approach, he gained a far-reaching, international reputation.

Thelen and Waldemar Graf became acquainted during a project in Russia and have undertaken various international projects together since then. The pair have comparable experiences in developing and organising new production lines under challenging conditions.
