About Hans Van Leerdam

They say that people who enter the world of aluminium will not leave it ever again. This is exactly what has happened to me, because today, I am working in this industry for more than 35 years now.In 1988 I began my professional career as a die-corrector in the Netherlands, but within the aluminium industry my career has changed course several times. These changes have enriched me and allowed me to grow professionally. Not only have I worked in various positions within the aluminium sector, such as die-corrector, dieshop manager, sales manager, plant manager and consultant, but I also had to learn several languages. Today I speak 5 languages ​and I have worked in several countries such as Holland, Germany, England, Spain, Italy and Belgium.I believe that my trajectory with many different experiences has prepared me to be able to contribute positively to my partners and clients.
