It is our goal to let people enjoy delicious food, with natural flavors! Because life is so much more fun with good and healthy food! :) As a grower, we have distributed our growing companies throughout Europe. Our herbs are grown regionally in the summer and in the winter we grow towards southern Europe. We grow sustainable and prefer to get our herbs as close to home as possible. Entrepreneurship and ambition is something that flows through our veins. We want to create something new, something that we can be proud of! For ourselves, to prove that it is possible and that we can achieve things that others will not. By being creative and open-minded, we achieve new things that will inspire others.

Together with the production team, you start the shift by making sure there is a flying start. Within minutes of the shift start all lines are running properly. While going through the production planning and daily analysis, you enjoy a cup of fresh mint tea. The analysis of the day before showed that line 11 did not perform as expected. You make an analysis of the cause and plan the necessary actions. It turns out that line 11 loses too much time during a changeover. You therefore involve the Operators and our Continuous Improvement Coordinator, Tomasz, to make a short improvement plan. You ensure that it is implemented that same day. Then you do a round on the floor. In the meantime, you monitor the performance of all lines. During lunch you can enjoy a delicious cup of soup and challenge 2 colleagues during a table tennis match. After lunch you have a one-on-one half year evaluation meeting with our Line Leaders together with your colleague People Specialist Operations. The Line Leaders made great progress and therefore deserve a nice compliment and a good review. Together you process the next development steps for the coming six months. At the end of the shift, you check whether there have been any problems during production that are important to know for other departments. You make a short note, so that you can discuss some action points the next day during the daily "Operational Sunrise meeting". Just before you go home, you go through next week's schedule with our Operations Scheduling Specialist.
