Stefan Forster is the owner of PSD and a seasoned sales engineer with a deep technical foundation and decades of hands-on experience in industrial systems. Based in Roanoke, Virginia, Stefan combines engineering precision with practical, field-tested knowledge — a balance that has shaped both his leadership style and PSD’s reputation in the marketplace. A graduate of North Carolina State University, Stefan built his career at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and customer-facing problem solving. He has spent years working directly with industrial facilities, plant engineers, and operations leaders, developing solutions that prioritize safety, performance, and long-term reliability. His background allows him to speak fluently with both executive stakeholders and technical teams, translating complex engineering requirements into practical, cost-effective outcomes. Under Stefan’s leadership, PSD has focused on delivering explosion relief door solutions that are engineered with precision and built to perform in real-world environments. He understands that explosion protection is not theoretical — it is mission-critical. Facilities rely on properly designed relief systems to protect people, equipment, and operations. Stefan approaches every project with that responsibility in mind. What differentiates Stefan is not just technical knowledge, but his commitment to integrity and long-term partnerships. He believes industrial safety solutions should be engineered correctly the first time. That means asking detailed questions, understanding process changes, and ensuring that each solution is appropriate for the specific application — whether for dust collection systems, processing vessels, or high-risk manufacturing environments. In addition to his work with PSD, Stefan serves as a Sales Engineer at Annexair, where he continues to apply his engineering expertise in complex mechanical and air-handling systems. This dual perspective keeps him closely connected to evolving industry standards, engineering best practices, and global market trends. Colleagues and clients describe Stefan as analytical, steady, and solutions-oriented. He brings a disciplined engineering mindset to every conversation, while remaining approachable and practical. His ability to navigate technical nuance without overcomplicating the solution has earned the trust of engineers, plant managers, and procurement teams alike. At PSD, Stefan’s vision is clear: build products that perform when it matters most, support customers with straightforward expertise, and maintain the highest standards of engineering integrity. His leadership continues to shape PSD’s growth, reputation, and commitment to industrial safety worldwide.
