Summary
Mark Ruiter is an entrepreneur and hands-on industry specialist with over two decades of experience helping steel companies optimize operations, from his beginnings as a fitter and welder to founding Torza ERP for manufacturing and logistics. He builds pragmatic, modular software solutions that tie nesting and cutting tools to business processes, and has repeatedly led ERP implementations, process redesigns and interim management assignments across the Dutch steel sector. Mark couples technical knowledge of CNC, plasma, laser and waterjet cutting with commercial sense—having owned and operated cutting businesses and represented machine manufacturers. He is known for a no-nonsense, passion-driven approach to problem solving and for making complex workflows auditable and efficient. Based in Dordrecht, he also runs advisory and coaching services and a corten steel web shop, showing an entrepreneurial streak beyond pure software. A telltale detail: he started at the bench and keeps practical shop-floor experience at the core of his product and consulting decisions.
