pioneers in their field

DI Mag. Johann Zimmermann

Technical management

Together with his wife Ute, Johann founded the NaKu company in 2007 in order to develop plastics that cause less damage to people and nature.

He carries out research work for NaKu. Anything that isn't nailed down is used for experiments and processed into natural plastic. It is not for nothing that he is called "The brain of the mission". He also knows how to motivate his team and keep them on track.

Mag. Ute Zimmermann

Like her husband, Ute is fascinated by biopolymers and inspires others with her enthusiasm for NaKu. She is our good mood doctor. With her cheerfulness, her humor and an inexhaustible supply of gummy bears, she ensures a pleasant and motivated working atmosphere.

Before she goes to work, Ute goes jogging along the Vienna River. Often accompanied by her husband or her dog Puck. This way she starts her working day relaxed and motivated.

Lizzy Weinert

Customer Support & Social Media

Lizzy has been employed at NaKu since January 2023 and supports the marketing team in the social media area. With her self-built reach on Instagram, as a brand ambassador, she has the opportunity to spread Naku products and educate people about sustainability.

Lizzy is very musical, which is why she likes to pick up her guitar to balance her work. In her free time, she also curiously explores the many facets of Vienna, as she has only recently been living in the cosmopolitan city.

Michael Rottensteiner

IT Manager

Michael Rottensteiner has been supporting the company with all IT issues since December 2018. His thirst for knowledge and his commitment keep driving him to new heights, which is why Michael is also studying business informatics.

So that he hasn't become a couch potato in the IT industry for more than 10 years now, he is also an enthusiastic runner and often accompanies Johann and Ute Zimmermann on their training sessions.
