  REACH Events

This is feedback we have had on our RoHS Seminars 

"These seminars cover a great deal of ground very quickly without needing to wade through many pages of documentation and remove almost all the uncertainty that can arise from working in isolation in one company only. The delivery style makes it all pretty painless"

Bio: Roland Sommer

 

Roland Sommer is the Managing Director of RoHS and WEEE Specialists (International) Ltd.  He has been in in the electronics industry for over 25 years working for companies such as Marconi, Texas Instruments, Phillips and Invensys as well as several smaller companies. His career has taken him across 3 continents and now resides in New Zealand, where he has been for the last 14 years. In 2003 he set up his own consulting services business, specialising in RoHS and WEEE in 2003. Roland is a member of both the  Australian AEEMA RoHS and WEEE committee and the New Zealand RoHS and WEEE Support Committee. The infrastructure that his company has set up in Australasia for RoHS and WEEE support has been the subject of papers he has presented at the Asia Electronics Forum in Qingdao and at the World Electronics Forum in London. His experience at the "coal face" as a project manager for RoHS and WEEE compliance with one of New Zealands largest OEMs and Contract Manufacturers gives him a solid practical grounding for assisting and training other companies. Being a  member of Toastmasters and professionally trained by Public Speaking Consultants (www.publicspeaking.net.nz) his delivery is polished and entertaining.
