40 years of impact: an interview with ORTEC founder Gerrit Timmer

“Loyalty goes two ways: loyalty towards our employees, and loyalty towards our customers. We never give up on our customers”

April 1, 2021 - “I remember using an Apple II in the 1980s” says Gerrit Timmer, co-founder and now Chief Science Officer (CSO) at ORTEC. “But not for big projects – for those we needed bulky mainframes that cost millions. It was for small calculations, and for writing text. Typewriters were not quite that handy!” No digital mobile networks, no proper laptops and, instead, huge stacks of paper: this not-so-distant past seems unimaginable. But Gerrit and four other math wizards had an appetite for challenges and innovation – so 40 years ago, our founders embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. Countless great projects later, ORTEC has much to be proud of: together with our customers, we have made an impact that goes beyond mere business.
