In medical technology, progress rarely depends on a single breakthrough. It depends on whether complex systems can hold together under pressure. Quality requirements, regulatory expectations, shifting demand, and real-world operational constraints all test the strength of an organisation’s foundations.
This is where Supply Chain becomes decisive.
In January 2026, Pascal Bischoff joined Elos Medtech as Supply Chain Manager at our Pforzheim site in Germany, bringing more than a decade of experience from the automotive and electronics industries into a highly regulated MedTech environment.
With a background in Industrial Engineering and Business Management, Pascal has spent 11 years working across stamping and injection molding technologies. His career includes project management for complex assemblies, leadership roles in Purchasing and Customer Service, and responsibility for end-to-end supply chain operations spanning planning, logistics, and supplier management.
Pascal’s mandate is clear: Supply Chain Management (SCM) is being strengthened as a system, with planning positioned deliberately as the operational hub. SCM plays a central role in the Sales and Operations Planning process, aligning demand, capacity, and execution across functions. In parallel, Pascal is developing a more strategic approach to purchasing, focused on resilience, transparency, and long-term collaboration with suppliers.
What stands out in his first months is the balance he is working to establish.
Structure is essential. Clear processes, defined interfaces, and shared rules create stability. At the same time, agility remains critical. Market disruptions, changing priorities, and operational complexity require teams to adapt quickly without losing control. The challenge lies in designing systems that support both consistency and responsiveness.
Collaboration sits at the centre of this approach. Supply Chain touches every function, and effective performance depends on open communication across departments and at management level. Identifying bottlenecks early, reducing uncertainty, and solving problems collectively are part of the daily work.
The move into medical technology brings a strong sense of purpose. Quality and precision are non-negotiable, and supply chain performance has a direct impact on patient outcomes. That responsibility raises expectations and reinforces the importance of continuous improvement.
Outside of work, balance comes from time with family and friends, as well as sport. Table tennis, padel, squash, good food, and travel provide a counterweight to demanding operational roles.
As our Pforzheim site deepens its integrate with the wider Elos Medtech Group, strong Supply Chain capabilities will play a key role. Pascal’s work is focused on building the foundations that allow complexity to scale in a reliable, predictable way, with the flexibility that MedTech demands.
