Meet our Procurement colleagues
We believe that only together can we make a difference in the market, because we need the qualities of everyone. Whoever you are and wherever you come from, everyone is important in our procurement team.
Last year, I introduced a new edible gas supplier to our Lummen location, ending over 30 years of cooperation with the previous supplier. This major project, prepared and executed over several months by a multifunctional team, carried high risks as we had to halt production during the peak season, leaving almost no margin for error. I am proud how this project turned out. “
