The organisation

Our client, located in the north-western part of the Netherlands and with approximately 100 FTE and turnover of €70M, is the leading world player in the industry to which they deliver. The company is part of an American concern and has a very strong international character of its own. The expectation is that the current growth will continue to be strong in the coming years. The need of the niche market to which our client delivers is growing significantly. Within our client’s distribution area, the demand to supply new machines into new process lines continues to grow. It is important within this market to be visible, make personal contact and be technically up to date.
