Meet Arief Tifloen, one of our incredible Paint Process Engineers here at GLOBAL! From a young age, Arief’s curiosity for automation and engineering was sparked by playing with LEGO and experimenting with an electrical circuit board set designed for kids. This early passion only grew stronger during a high school program that allowed him to explore various engineering disciplines—a journey that culminated in a full scholarship from General Motors to study engineering. Recently, Arief was part of a team that launched a new project. With minimal trials, they achieved exceptional paint quality that met our customer’s high standards—a testament to his expertise and dedication. What truly sets Arief’s journey apart is his global experience. He’s worked on projects spanning four continents—Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America—an opportunity he credits for broadening his perspective on different cultures and what unites us all. Arief’s advice to aspiring engineers? “Embrace continuous learning. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or fail. Develop a broad skill set by learning outside your preferences. Be patient and focus on long-term goals.” Thank you, Arief, for your incredible contributions and for representing GLOBAL’s commitment to innovation and excellence on a worldwide scale! #MeetOurEngineers #PaintProcessExpert #EngineeringExcellence #GlobalImpact #PassionForAutomation #STEMJourney #EngineeringLife #GlobalPerspectives #ContinuousLearning #AutomotiveInnovation #EngineeringInspiration
I had the chance to work with Arief Tifleon on two proejcts and he would address the customer needs at such a level of expertise that is second to none.
I had the privilege of meeting Arief on a project early in my career. My biggest regret is not asking him more questions and learning from his vast experience. His advice on patience truly resonates with me; it's often overlooked as a main career skill but always appreciated in hindsight.
I can only confirm the other comments. Arief is indeed on top of his game and a very lilkable person too.
