Meet Maxime Ziemniak, Thermocoax’s Managing Director.

“My name is Maxime Ziemniak. I’m the managing director of Thermocoax, which is a subsidiary of the Spirax Sarco Engineering Group.”

What is your role at Thermocoax?

“I am the managing director, so I’ve been in charge of the full activity of Thermocoax and Thermocoax means two companies, mainly one company in France, a French company based in Normandy, and a second one in the USA based in Atlanta.”

What do you like the most in this function?

“It’s about leading an important company for an important group. What I like about this job is that it is a new mission for me. I started four months ago. What I like really much is that we are talking here about ultra critical applications for heating and control and instrumentation which is very exciting.”

What is Thermocoax’s biggest advantage ?

“Several things. I think it’s first, our strategy. And our customer approach. We are in a very demanding market in terms of product quality, etc. Our market is growing very quickly, strongly, and we have a very solid engineering team, very solid supply chain production and quality department, which makes a difference, in addition to the sales team. We aim to understand the full needs and the full pains of our customers in order to give them the best solution in line with their expectations.” THERMOCOAX is dedicated to continuously improving and providing excellent customer service and product quality. We are committed to meeting or surpassing customer expectations when designing and manufacturing heating applications and sensors, all while prioritising innovation.

Market share is growing

“Today we are expecting growth in the coming years because our target markets are nuclear, semiconductor industry and aerospace and defense. Those three businesses are booming. So our market share, let’s say it’s maybe a single digit. But with such potential in front of us, we are sure that we are growing our company in the next years for sure.” Learn more about Thermocoax’s three main markets:

What has recently changed at Thermocoax?

“We moved to one building in Normandy, which is important. We moved from four buildings to one building, so that means we changed our organization design. We’ve changed our business units, we’ve changed our flows and we are more efficient now. And we are more sustainable because we are working to it. In addition to our sales strategy, we have a one planet strategy to implement.”

The role of sustainability

“Sustainability is very important because this is our main purpose. Our purpose is to create a sustainable value for all our stakeholders as we engineer a more efficient, safer and sustainable world. That means all what we are doing must be around sustainability. All what we are doing. It means the product we are developing to the way we produce it and the way we ship it.”

Why should talented people choose Thermocoax?

“We must be attractive to our customers, but also to talent. Talented people. In order to offer high tech solutions, we must have the best talents in sales, engineering, supply chain, and production. We are a French company that is part of Spirax Sarco engineering group itself, recognised in the industrial thermal equipment and solutions world.

When you are not at Thermocoax…

“I’m a musician, so I try to practice trumpet in different orchestras. That means it’s a lot of work. It’s a lot of discipline for me to keep my trumpet level high. That’s why I try to spend my time with my family and my main hobby, which is practice of music.”
