Working at Van Loon Group“If you show commitment, many things are possible here”
“Never a dull moment. As a research and development manager, I’m at the heart of the organization. I work closely with the Sales, Purchasing, Planning and Production departments, and with Quality Assurance, of course. That makes my work very varied. Working in teams, the R&D department develops great new products that meet customer needs and legal requirements. I enjoy the interaction with colleagues, as well as with customers and suppliers. I started at Van Loon Group in 2008. Since then, I’ve experienced nothing but growth. That’s fantastic, because success gives me energy. What’s more, a great deal of money is invested here, which gives everyone new opportunities. However, we must ensure that we remain a non-hierarchical and flexible organization, even now that we are growing so strongly. In my view, our strength really lies in our dynamic approach and flexibility. We are ‘lean & mean’. I’d compare working at Van Loon Group to high-level sports. You have to stay focused all day and keep an eye on the details. Often, we feel there are not enough hours in the day. But, as I said, if you show commitment and apply yourself, many things are possible here.”
