People & Culture

Driven by technology, with attention to the people who do it; this is how we work at Voortman. We are a people company where everyone gets the space to develop themselves. Where we work with passion on the most beautiful machines and the most innovative software and services.

Where we think along with each other and our customers so that together we can ensure the best possible result. Where entrepreneurship prevails and we feel responsible for our work. Where we offer young people the opportunity and support they need to learn the trade. Always with both feet on the ground and our eyes focused on the future.

What our employees think

Within our company, down-to-earthness prevails combined with craftsmanship and the passion for it. Do you have a good idea? Then implement it! Because if you don't try, you won't get anywhere. Entrepreneurship is in our blood. And you notice, feel and see that wherever you are in our company.

We welcome new colleagues every month, but celebrate anniversaries almost as often. We believe in sharing knowledge and enjoy learning from each other. Years of experience combined with the fresh perspective of new colleagues is, in our opinion, the basis for success and job satisfaction. And fun we have! During Friday afternoon drinks or during our annual pub quiz and summer barbecue. But we also organize fun and sporting activities throughout the year.
