On Wednesday, March 25, Albert Wiesinger, Project Manager at KAMAZ PJSC, passed away at the age of 68. During his years at the company, he made a significant contribution to the development of production, technology, and the product lineup.
Albert Wiesinger began his career in 1973 in his hometown of Steyr, Austria, as a process engineer at a Daimler plant. He then worked at MAN Group plants, rising from intern to project manager. He implemented international projects for the MAN Group in Poland, Finland, India, China, and Russia.
Since 2011, he has been involved in the analysis and implementation of KAMAZ projects, initially as a consulting consultant, and in 2013, he assumed leadership of the "Cabin" project. In subsequent years, Albert Wiesinger worked on cutting-edge projects at KAMAZ PJSC related to increasing production and economic efficiency, developing new products and technologies, and import substitution.
By 2015, under his leadership, a project to develop production of a new cabin for KAMAZ vehicles was completed. This became the company's first step toward conquering the premium long-haul truck market. From 2014 to 2018, KAMAZ produced over 23,000 vehicles with the new cabin. These trucks became market bestsellers and the company's flagship models.
Albert Vizinger's second ambitious project at KAMAZ was the import substitution of vehicle components, successfully implemented between 2016 and 2018. This work significantly reduced the production cost of the KAMAZ-5490 vehicle, increased independence from foreign suppliers, and improved product margins.
The third area of focus was a project to develop automated production of aluminum fuel tanks—a new technology for Russia that will further enhance KAMAZ's independence from external economic factors and open up new horizons for the development of specialized design and engineering competencies. Projects to organize semi-trailer production, outsource foundry product lines, and other initiatives were also successfully implemented.
His high level of professionalism, extensive experience, and excellent organizational skills enabled him to achieve outstanding results at every stage of his illustrious professional career. In 2018, Albert Vizinger was awarded the Republic of Tatarstan Medal "For Valiant Labor."
