What is the work you do here?
Frencken Europe hired me as Logistics Planner. As Logistics Planner I am responsible for planning, setting goals, directing and solving logistics problems. At Frencken Europe, I am involved with the customer and the production side, I act as the bridge between customers and the organisation.
-
Why is Frencken the perfect fit?
The organisation suits me perfectly. The people who work here are very nice, combined with my interests for the high-tech industry, it makes a perfect fit. We, as an organisation, have an excellent product — our product is a mass spectrometer— but the fellowship between colleagues is something I appreciate the most. It feels comfortable to work together at the company.
-
What is your first impression of the company?
Like I said before, everyone is taking care of each other. Besides that, I received a warm welcome from everyone in the organisation and everyone is ready to help someone out. Another thing that I really value is the fact that everyone gets the chance to develop themselves. Long story short, the working atmosphere is great.
-
What are your growth ambitions (if you have any at this moment)?
At the moment, I am getting used to making the system my own. Perhaps in the future, in 2-3 years, I can focus on my growth ambitions. The product category in which I would love to specialise myself is ‘New Products Introduction’(NPI) because, I would love to be involved with setting up new products. The ambition is there but first I have to get used to the system and the company. Then I can focus myself on career opportunities at Frencken Europe.
