Our peoplePaweł Michalski, head of the quality assurance and production technology department
Paweł describes his professional career as being one with two main parts. The first was the time ‘before De Heus’ when he was a laboratory technician and a recipe specialist in the feed industry. Paweł: “That was a time of intense learning, searching for my own place and opportunities for personal development, which were not so obvious in the previous company. The turning point in my career came when I was contacted by De Heus and subsequently started working as Junior Product Manager in 2018. Thanks to this work, I obtained access to the commercial market and was able to have a real impact on the shape and specificity of products, but also on changes in the whole company. In April 2021, I was appointed head of the quality assurance and production technology department.”

TraineeshipArno Willemink – COO Asia
Growing up on a dairy farm, as a child Arno Willemink (32) was naturally already involved in the livestock business. His Industrial Engineering and Management degree at the University of Twente would not lead him directly to the agriculture sector. In 2012, however, he embarked on an internship for De Heus Vietnam, doing market research about the Myanmar market which De Heus was planning to open up. This made him aware of the opportunities for Dutch agricultural companies abroad. After completing his master’s degree in Financial Engineering and Management, he started as Trainee Purchasing & Trading in 2015. Since 2018 Arno has lived in Asia, first as Purchasing Director Asia in Vietnam and since 2022 as COO Asia.
