Regional Sales Director – UK & Ireland
About Ynteq
Maintenance managers lose hours every week to spreadsheets, paperwork and manual tracking. That time could go toward preventing the next malfunction instead of documenting the last one. Ynteq gives that time back, which means less downtime, lower operating costs and a smaller carbon footprint for the manufacturers we work with. We’re a fast-growing start-up of around 20 people, doubling in size each year, and one of Europe’s fastest-growing maintenance-tech companies. Our mission is to make industry smarter, cleaner and more efficient.
Ynteq is a maintenance platform (CMMS) built on three principles: easy to use, smart, and AI-powered. It removes manual work instead of adding to it.
