Our motto: “People are our greatest assets”
Many companies, quite rightly, claim that people are their greatest assets and the Smurfit Kappa Group firmly shares this view. The key to success is to offer the highest quality and most innovative products and services to customers and to achieve that requires excellent, well trained and motivated people.
Organisation
The Smurfit Kappa Trimbach, Smurfit Kappa Interbox and Smurfit Kappa GSF organisation consists of three production sites, one in Bergen op Zoom, one in Hoogstraten and one in Oude Pekela. At each site we operate in shifts (two or three) on flexo/die-cutting/offset machines and seam folding/gluing machines. Besides the operation there are people working in the speciality fields of techniques, logistics, customer services & sales, finances, research & development, human resources and quality.
The organisation consists of 365 employees; 120 of them work at the location in Bergen op Zoom, 105 in Hoogstraten and 140 in Oude Pekela.
Culture
Our corporate culture can be described as follows:
- No nonsense attitude among all staff
- Employees are involved at all levels
- Able to handle the freedom offered
- A lot of personal responsibility
These characteristics do not suit everybody, but if they fit, you fit!
Career Development
We value experience and competence as well as the right educational background.We offer our employees an attractive salary and good secondary benefits. Further we try to provide our employees with an opportunity for further development on a technical level as well as on a personal level.
Due to the decentralized characteristics of the company, an advancement usually occurs in the scope of the position being practiced (more responsibility and duties). Another possibility is to advance within the Smurfit Kappa Group, where in about 410 locations around the world approximately 42.000 people are employed.
