𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗻 125 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 | 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘁: 𝗔𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 Service Engineer Arie Petter started working for the local dairy factory in Hasselt when he was 15. Now, 50 years later, he still works at the same plant – only now for Sensus, helping create plant-based products! “Despite the mergers and acquisitions, the nature of my job hasn’t changed much”, Arie says about the multiple takeovers of the factory that have led him to Sensus in 1999. It was his love for machines that attracted him to the job. “At Sensus, we make powder from inulin extracted from chicory. For this process, we essentially use the same machines as we did for producing milk powder.” Arie’s favourite thing about the job is that “no day here is the same. There is always something different to do. Whether its fixing machine breakdowns or preparatory work for major maintenance. I enjoy helping others move forward.” “The biggest challenge in my career has been the gradual implementation of automation. Which Sensus, of course, continues to this day. Technology advances, and you go along with it. I’ve taken courses to keep up. This has made the job much more interesting for me.” Next year, after 51 years, Arie will start to enjoy his retirement. “I look back with great pleasure on what we have achieved together and how we have always tackled the challenges that came our way as a team.” #Cosun125years #employeeportrait #peopleofcosun
