Christiaan first came into contact with Kolmer in 2008 through his neighbor Modesta. With his background in metalworking, he quickly proved to be a valuable addition to the team. In 2018, he moved from the workshop to the logistics department, but his technical passion turned out to be stronger. Before long, he returned to the workshop.
There, Christiaan took a major step in expanding his knowledge on his own initiative, something Kolmer was happy to support. From becoming a specialist in CNC shaft turning to obtaining a CAD certificate, and everything in between, Christiaan continued to develop himself. Giving up is not in his nature. At one point, he spent almost a full year working on a highly specialized shaft for a customer. How great is that?
A true perfectionist, which is essential in his work. Christiaan says:
“A workweek flies by and I always seem to run out of time. I like that.”
Driven and well organized, that’s how you can best describe Christiaan.
“The specialistic variety in my work suits me well. At Kolmer, we’re really like a family. From management to the shop floor, no one is just a number here. I’ve felt that way from day one. We have a great time working together.”
Christiaan lives in Harderwijk with his wife and two children. Besides work and family, there isn’t much free time left, but when there is, he enjoys working on the computer or doing DIY projects in and around the house. Occasionally, he helps a friend set up lighting and sound installations for events. “It’s great to be involved behind the scenes.”
