Both specialists represent the next generation within the company, but have gained years of experience in the Verhoeven organisation. They have been active in Vacuum Cooling & Baking since five years.
Leadership in Technological Knowledge
«We are able to serve and advise all market segments, and have a continuous R&D for the further development of our product portfolio. But to achieve the best results with this superior technique, it is paramount to emphasise the knowledge of process technology. In the past years, we have gained experience that has led to a solid market leadership, also in terms of knowledge. We are happy to share this knowledge with our customers and anyone interested in the contribution this new technique and technology can offer to the market. To realise this, several initiatives are being developed in the short term.» says Hans Stoop, general director of the Verhoeven Family of Companies.
One of the initiatives is the launch of the Vacuum Cooling & Baking Academy and Members Club. Details on this launch will be announced shortly.
