Supply chain: accelerate progress

Global reach, local expertise. It is that combination that allows us to support our customers and create real impact together. Challenging? Absolutely. But it is precisely that global scope that makes your contribution matter from the start. In Frencken’s supply chain, you can think and decide outside the box. Here, you combine an entrepreneurial mindset with short lines of communication and work closely with teams around the world to achieve the best possible results every time.

“I am driven, I do the puzzle myself. Frencken gives me that opportunity.”

Through his work, Mehmet Ozdemir forms the bridge between procurement and our customer teams. As a driven professional, he likes to make a difference as a project procurement lead. “It’s important to feel that your input is appreciated. At Frencken, that’s definitely the case.”

“I had been working in the world of procurement for a while. However, thanks to the many opportunities, it quickly felt different here. In my first few weeks, I was responsible for a high-priority project. That was successfully completed, which gave me a lot of satisfaction. I am now leading a multi-year project in which we are moving production to other locations. That requires strategic thinking, good communication and a proactive approach. This way, you continuously develop yourself, just as I’m doing now with project management training.”

Contributing to something bigger
“My tasks are not handed to me on a silver platter, I have to solve the puzzle myself. That requires initiative – and that is exactly what I like, just like my colleagues. We support each other, share a lot of knowledge, and are all equally passionate about what we do. Believe me, that gives a lot of energy. Moreover, I regularly have contact with colleagues from all over the world. That gives me the feeling that I am contributing to something bigger. Are you looking for a place where you can take ownership and really make a difference? Then Frencken is the right choice.”

“From order picking to optimizing, Frencken sees what I can do.”

Romario Kock found his ideal workplace at Frencken, where he works as a warehouse operator helping keep production running smoothly. “Our products are used in healthcare. Knowing I contribute to people’s health gives real meaning to my work.”

“It already felt right during my application. I was impressed by how clean and organized everything was. Now I switch between different tasks each week, from order picking and replenishing small parts to supplying larger components for production. I enjoy that variety. My manager recognized what I have to offer and quickly gave me more responsibility. For example, I was able to optimize an extensive Excel list and even get an entire work center up and running. These are tasks that would normally fall to the team leader. That trust in my ability to work independently gives me a great deal of satisfaction.”

People over results
“At Frencken, it’s about more than just the numbers. If a colleague needs to leave early for a doctor’s appointment, for example, we handle it together. And during our monthly cluster meeting, everyone can suggest possible improvements, which we then review a month later to see what they have delivered. That open and honest communication only improves the work. Everything revolves around trust, independence, and supporting one another. Honestly, I’ve worked at many companies, but I’ve never felt as valued as I do here. This is a place where people truly come first.”
