Ulf Henriksson and the executives/buddies that he brought in with him have been the worst thing to happen to us in the 15 years that I have been employed by Dematic. In 3 years time they have managed to take us from the industry's "go to when you absolutely need the best in record time" conveyor company. To the "we can't make a schedule date (on the third commitment) or even make our rollers that won't fall out after less than 100hrs run time (yes, literally come apart and fall out)" conveyor company. For the first time ever, I find it embarrassing to tell anyone in the industry that I am a Dematic employee. Many of us (if not all) of us long term employees that worked to make Dematic the great company that it "was". Are very sad to see it crumbling like it is, as our customer leave for Intellegrated. We are not crumbling because the industry is slow (the only thing us old timers thought would get us), we are crumbling because an incompetent CEO and his buddies have done what looks like intentionally force extremely poor management decisions and ideas in to place to cause the demise of Dematic, as if that were their goal. It's hard to believe that anyone one in a position like CEO could not see how they setting this once great company up for total failure!
