QualySense AG, an EMPA-based start-up company that pioneers innovative grain and seed sorting technologies to set new quality standards in the food industry, announces today that it has appointed Dr. Beat Bühlmann to its board of directors. Beat is a Private Equity professional and active business angel. Some of his selected business angel investments are Codestreet, Decision Sciences Security Solutions, LogicSource, On-Running, Phytoceuticals, and obviously QualySense.

QualySense’s Chairman of the Board, Alberto Romaneschi, says: “With Beat we were able to win on our board a seasoned business angel investor with an unmatched network and a broad finance and business experience”.

Beat, freshly appointed as QualySense’s board member, says: “Regularly screening many start-ups, I have not often seen such a convincing combination of a strong business proposition coupled with a highly ambitious and very skilled founders’ team. I am looking forward to the upcoming market entry with the QSorter Explorer as I am convinced that we can offer our clients a very powerful tool.”
