Strong growth starts with a solid foundation. And in production, you are that foundation. At our production site in Katwijk, near Cuijk, you work together with your colleagues. You ensure that the production floor leaves the factory on time and according to schedule. To do this, the machines must run smoothly, the planning must be accurate, and colleagues must be able to count on each other.
You operate the packaging machines for our bagged goods and big bags. You start up and programme the machines, adjusting them where necessary. You resolve minor faults yourself. You also help with loading lorries and containers. You work mainly on the shop floor, where you can see straight away whether the process is running smoothly and immediately see the results of your work. The pace is fast and the work is physical. You keep an overview, spot deviations and push through together with your colleagues, thus keeping production moving.

This is how you work at Legro
At Legro we manage the entire production process in-house, giving us control over the whole supply chain from raw material to customer. Every link matters. Your work forms the foundation for the colleague who follows you, which is why you work in a small team with direct communication. Colleagues speak their minds, keep their promises and help each other when the pressure mounts.
Does the schedule change or does a machine break down? Then you don't wait around, but look together at what is needed. During busy periods, you sometimes work extra hours. That is precisely when you realise what you mean to each other. Do you see how things could be done more cleverly or better? Then you raise the topic for discussion and help to implement it as well.
You bring this with you
