Spotlighting the Quant veterans: Stefan Grevsmuehl

In 2025, we are celebrating Quant’s 10-year anniversary as an independent company. Some of our professionals have been part of our journey since the early days, and one of them is Stefan Grevsmuehl, Global Safety Manager and Safety and Operations Manager for Europe.
In 2015, Quant was carved out as an independent company from ABB. Since the start, Stefan Grevsmuehl has played a key role in the company, bringing valuable experience and professionalism, and he is an appreciated colleague within the company.
– When Quant was on the way to being founded, the CEO at the time was approaching me to get me on-board to work in the Global Safety Team, to support building the Quant fundament in this area, Stefan tells.
– Having worked at ABB for 33 years, it was a big step to change. But I have never regretted this journey. Quant gave me the opportunity to grow my personality and management skills over the years. There have
been challenges, but it has always added value to my life.
”I am proud of our safety culture”
He highlights cooperation with great colleagues as one of the things that stands out the most during his time with Quant.
– The daily work has generated a lot of happy moments for me. Spreading a positive atmosphere by having some fun together will also inject positivity to the team. I learned over time that everybody has something special to tell. Listening to all these personal stories and seeing how skilled everyone is has made me happy and built big respect for everyone within the company.
Already when being a part of ABB, Stefan worked within the area of safety. After joining Quant, he has held several roles, but safety has always been close to his heart. And when asked about what he is most proud of accomplishing during his Quant career, safety naturally plays an important role.
– When I think back of the last ten years, I would not highlight specific moments but rather to continuously have enjoyed working on solving challenges along the way within this flat organization, together with great people, he says.
– However, I am proud that I, together with other Quant colleagues, was able to build the fundament of our safety system which I still see alive. In Quant, we were able to create a great safety culture that I have been part of all these years.
His time with Quant has given Stefan the opportunity to travel and visit sites in various countries. It has given him valuable experiences and lessons learned, often with people at the center.
– When I was working as Group Safety Advisor, I got the opportunity to travel to almost all the countries where we were operating in the beginning. I went to China, Singapore, South Africa, Americas, and several countries in Europe. Globally, people are having similar expectations, but a global organization needs to consider country specific differences. I also learned to respect and appreciate every single person, as each of us tells a unique and interesting story and has valuable competences, he says.
“Be open for change – it can really bring great moments”
At Quant, our values are passionate, professional, and proud. Three factors that Stefan finds are reflected in the everyday work within the organization.
– Without having passionate, professional, and proud employees, the contractual performance we deliver in different places would not be possible. I have learned that behind each specific success story of a site, you will always find a strong team led by a strong supervisor or manager who can build this team spirit.
When asked about what advice he would give to someone just starting their career at Quant, Stefan’s answer reflects his own journey since he took the bold decision to try something new and join the newly founded company.
– Start to bring your daily duties to the next level and take responsibility to look for opportunities to work elsewhere in Quant, to bring in your expertise and to learn from others. And being open for change, it can really bring valuable experiences and great moments!
Tomas Rönn, CEO:
– Having colleagues with such extensive experience over many years is incredibly valuable to all of us. Throughout his career with ABB and Quant, Stefan has accumulated a wealth of knowledge that he both applies and generously shares with others. Thank you, Stefan, for your loyalty and your significant contributions to the Quant business.
