I’m Erich Bütler, a passionate engineer focused on making a positive impact and shaping what comes next.

I am an electrical engineer with extensive experience in drive systems, mechatronics, and industrial product development. I started my career in Switzerland, developing microprocessor-based electronics and embedded software.

I then spent more than 30 years in the international elevator industry, taking on roles from development engineer to engineering team lead and department head within a global R&D organization—combining hands-on technical expertise with leadership and project responsibility.

Today, I work as an independent engineer and founded bdrive GmbH. My focus is on leadership and business development, as well as electromobility, electric drives, and power electronics.
