rank Wenz began his professional career in 1991 with American Trützschler in Charlotte, North Carolina. Trützschler GmbH is a Germany-based manufacturer of textile production machinery. Working in management roles over a ten year period, Mr. Wenz served as director of global procurement and project manager for China, coordinating the establishment of Trützschler's industrial manufacturing site in Shanghai.

In 2001, Frank joined SCR-Tech, a German start-up company working with pollution control systems for coal-fired power plants. Six years later, in 2007, following a $9.6 million management buyout, SCR-Tech became the operating entity of CoaLogix.

As vice president of plant operations, and later, of field operations, he helped facilitate the $101 million sale of CoaLogix to Energy Capital Partners.
