A modern factory designed to optimize production and product control

De Heus and Koudijs premix animal nutrition is formulated to deliver consistent performance. Customers rely on it. This predictability requires constant attention to quality throughout the production process. Particularly since each premix is tailored to the needs of the customer. The company is flexible with its blends, but not with its standards. The premix animal nutrition factory in Veghel, the Netherlands embodies this philosophy. Nic Langeveld, Manager Premix, and Arianne Schoofs, QA Manager, tell us how the factory is designed and organised so that its output delivers maximum performance consistently.

Aisha Senya - Quality Manager

Aisha has a background in Food Technology and has been working in the food supply chain in Ghana for over 15 years. She joined De Heus Ghana in October 2019 as Quality Manager. After working for her previous employer for more than 11 years, she was keen to climb the quality ladder. This was when she signed up to work with Koudijs. “My young family had become slightly more independent. And for me it was the right time to grow my ambitions. Since the company was new in Ghana, I wanted to be part of its success story.”

Paweł 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.”

Selecting the best performing technical feed additive

Technical additives are an indispensable component of premix animal nutrition, but selecting the ones that deliver maximum efficacy is far from easy. There’s a wide range on offer with a lot of different advice from suppliers. To identify the most effective technical additives, De Heus uses applied research. Wim Wensink, Category Manager Technical Additives Global Premix & Specialties explains how this rigorous, objective approach helps De Heus choose the most effective technical additives so customers can achieve their animal performance goals in the most cost-effective and sustainable way.
