Between 2008 and 2012, Herwig Ragossnig was working as an external business development consultant for the German engineering company SEEGER ENGINEERING for the Latin American market. SEEGER ENGINEERING is one of the leading specialists for European bioenergy projects such as CHP plants, pellet plants, biogas plants and district heating networks. In this role, Herwig was taking over the mission of business development and project acquisition in Latin America, based in Santiago de Chile. Renewable energies were then just starting to take off in these markets, and SEEGER ENGINEERING was keen to participate in this emerging renewable energy market. Several engineering assignments and consulting services were realized especially for the Chilean and Brazilian market, and SEEGER ENGINEERING successfully managed to enter the Latin American market.
