Proud partner!

Mooie vacature voor Manager Product & Process Quality. Laat me s.v.p. weten als je interesse hebt of iemand kent die in het profiel zou passen! 👇

I used to do some work in the production. Especially when the production got busy, I offer my help. Nowadays, the response is: “It's not that busy, Daan. You can stay in your office.” The production work has become quite complex, and we have enough very competent people to do the job. They can handle it very well themselves. I am very proud of that. So, I rarely work in production anymore. Nevertheless, I can often be found on the production floor. This is because I assist in troubleshooting issues and engage in machine maintenance. I want to ensure that if there are any problems, we can still produce by the end of the day. That's why I'm closely involved in the process, even though I no longer perform direct tasks. #aviationtechnology #aviationglass #airplanetechnology

I'm always focused on making things at Aviation Glass easier, more automated, and less dependent on specific skills. Why, you might wonder? My goal is to set up processes in a way that almost anyone can do them. So, by making processes smarter and more automated, we can get things done more quickly and efficiently while keeping up our high standards of quality. #aviationtechnology #aviationglass #airplanetechnology

People often ask me, "What's your job?" Just like you probably hear that question a lot too. In my role as the Operations Director at Aviation Glass, my main job is to make sure that what our customers order gets to them on time and in good shape. This is really important because if we don't do that, our business wouldn't do well. I also take care of helping our customers after they've bought our products and make sure they're happy. I'm the person they talk to when they need something or have a problem. But, before we even get to that part, there are a lot of things that need to happen. I need to make sure we have the right stuff and the right people to make the things our customers want. Our machines need to be working well too. Then, the people who work with us need to know exactly how to make the things we sell. If everything goes according to plan, things run smoothly, and we make sure our products are really good. That's what I do at Aviation Glass, and I'm proud of it. Every day, I work hard to make our customers happy. And what do you do for work? #aviationglass #airplanetechnology #aviation #operationsdirector

It might sound somewhat counterintuitive, but since I started working for Aviation Glass, I've been flying less... In my previous job, I used to fly abroad almost every week. When I had children, that lifestyle didn't suit me anymore; I was away from home too much. Then I came across a fantastic job opportunity at Aviation Glass, and I hesitated for a moment: am I really going to fly less? Haha, you understand the thought. For Aviation Glass, I don't fly every week but once every 2-3 months. During those trips, I visit as many clients as possible, and we attend the Aviation Interior Expo (AIX) in Hamburg annually. #aviationglass #aix #travelforwork #aviationinterior

In the aviation industry, certification standards are exceptionally stringent. Placing an order today doesn't guarantee delivery tomorrow. In the construction field, certifying a product once often suffices. However, within aerospace, each item must undergo individual certification due to its reliance on both its designated location and the specific aircraft it's intended for. This process differs slightly for private jets, but still sets the bar to a very high standard. Producing a product for aerospace utilization forces the manufacturer to work at the highest quality standard both esthetical and structural. In some occasions for example obtaining certification for a restroom mirror is less complex, given that passengers aren't present during taxiing, takeoff, and landing. We've been diligently working on an aircraft's interior window for an extended period. Given its proximity to passengers throughout the entire flight, the certification process remains exceptionally strict. Consequently, products in similar categories can have varying requirements depending on their installation locations. And this rigorous approach is entirely justified! #privatejet #aviationglass #certification

Previously, we had to go to Germany for this... The moment has finally arrived! We now have 3 new machines in-house. There was more demand than our current machines could handle, so it was time to expand. For one of these processes, we had to go to Germany. It was good to have that option, but it also involved unnecessary hassle. The new machine features a green laser that can cut glass with incredible precision. Cutting glass is tricky; it tends to break easily. That's why you need high-quality machines for this purpose. We primarily use these machines crate cut-outs in our glass, like openings for the emergency sign that protrudes from the glass ceiling panel. This is a significant milestone for Aviation Glass and our production team. The company's expansion and the addition of these machines have given us fresh energy to kick things up a notch! #aviationtechnology #aviationglass #airplanetechnology #aviationinterior
