“I’m proud to see our products neatly displayed in the supermarket”
“I’ve been in the meat business all my life, and have learned a great deal about this product. It’s always beautiful to see how we process meat and how it ends up in stores. All the links in the processing chain must line up perfectly. I am responsible for the input and output of the retail products. I weigh the raw materials, supply the production lines and retrieve stock from the cells. Of course, everything must be checked carefully. I work with many different people and many different products. What I especially like is showing new employees their new workplace. They get the space to learn and I try to support them as best I can, even during busy times. I often rely on my sense of humor and keep a close watch. Those contacts are valuable to me. When you invest in people, you invest in the company. That determines our strength and I enjoy contributing to that. Van Loon Group in one word? To me, that would be solidarity. We manage to get things done together, every day. That’s highly motivating.”
