Start working for Tembo

What I like about this company is that they support everybody to innovate. Working at Tembo might be considered as a choice to define your own successfulness. There are many possibilities to develop yourself and to excel, you just have to seize the opportunity.

In my opinion, I haven’t built a career, but I gained the best experience in doing by learning. Our company serves as a driving force propelling team members to succeed.

Every project is a challenge: “I think we owe our technological progress to our great human attributes: reliability, flexibility, sustainability and intuition.”

"I make sure that clients are satisfied"

Tricas is a very informal and innovative company. I feel like the owners stand next to their employees. The company is involved in many different projects in different sectors, which makes Tricas the ideal company for me. 

We all work close together and take on the challenge to reach perfection. That’s what makes our company strong, because a company is as good as the people working for it.

‘Such a great company is unique in the Zwolle area’

‘I’ve always had an interest in engineering. By visiting several open days at a number of different colleges, I was able to filter out most programmes. In the end, there were two programmes left that I had to choose between. I took a gamble and opted for mechanical engineering, mostly because of its high versatility and many specialisation options. The gamble paid off in the end.’

"There's room to learn more about yourself and personally improve."

"What appeals to me is the flexibility and sustainability at the heart of Tembo."

A great benefit of working at ITM? I receive a lot of training. I am developing myself tremendously and I am well prepared for every situation regarding all of our machine platforms.

The key to success is a combination of basic concept, correct technology implementation, CAD/CAM design and programming, logistics and production preparation, production processes with quality standards, and of course having the right people leading the process. If one individual in that chain fails, the final result simply won’t hold up!!

I like that SPI is a creative and forward-thinking company, full of ideas. And with SPI joining Tembo, I have developed new skills and ventured into new areas of the organization. Whether I am learning more about the industry or the group’s organization, there is always something to learn. 

I appreciated the freedom and responsibility I was getting at Tembo. I was never treated like an intern, but always like a colleague. I was given the opportunity to improve myself and learn a lot in the process. 

I like the contacts I have with customers. Most attractive part of my job is that I can think of solutions to problems, but also hearing from customers that they are satisfied. Fortunately, that is very often. 

One of the wonderful things of being part of a worldwide group is that we can expand very quickly. We keep improving every day.
