Steel Protection Group is the Benelux market leader for mechanical blasting and preservation of plates and profiles for, amond others, ship and tank construction. These activities take place at our headquarters in Oosterhout and in Schoten (Euroblast - Belgium). Our other conservation specialties are wet painting, powder coating and application of fire protection coatings. We perform these activities on a large scale in Oosterhout and at our 2 locations in Heerenveen (Straco and STC), where we can additionally provide steel construction services.I have a background in logistics and operations management. In more recent years, I gained experience in procurement, sales and eventually general management. I like to make my decisions based on facts - data driven, I believe would be the modern way to describe it. If specific data is missing, I make sure that we mine it. Step by step. However, I learned that, in any organization, in the end the real difference is made by people. Therefore I always try to really understand what is going on in practice - what is driving my colleagues, customers, suppliers? My goal is to be able to contribute on any level in the organizations that I am responsible for.
