in the CLA, the number of products and the
production methods.
How have you experienced these
differences?
It goes without saying that if you don’t know any
better, a highly structured organisation like Aspen
is a good employer. But the biggest difference
is that joining Intracare is like becoming one of
the family. It’s a great place to work with the
very friendly and relaxed attitude that typifies
the province of Brabant, a strong dynamic and
the ambition to innovate at all levels. I personally
experience this as extremely positive and hope
to work and contribute here for many years to
come.
The Pharma department always looks
spotlessly clean and tidy. How do you
manage that?
I could just say ‘clean, clean and clean again’, but
it’s not as simple as that.There is much more
to keeping it this way.The correct protocols,
monitoring and the efforts of the team who
work here, such as Priscilla and Marja and my
back-up Joris, everyone cleans according to the
standards we apply under the GMP Pharma
scheme.
You give customers guided tours of the
cleanrooms. What do they have to say?
What I often hear from customers during a
tour is how impressed they are by what we do,
and how impeccably clean and tidy the entire
company is.That is naturally a huge compliment
for all of us at Intracare. After all, it’s a team
effort.
It started with one product (Intra
Hoof-fit Gel), now there are two
(Intra Epidine) and there are more
in the pipeline. What will cleanroom
production be like in five years?
Five years on I hope that we are an important,
successful department within Intracare and that
through innovation and research we have been
able to add some products to the amazing range
we already have and contribute to improving
animal welfare or other sectors.
What are you really looking forward to
and what are you proud of?
I am really excited by the prospect of growth at
Intracare so that, together with my new right-
hand man Joris and all our colleagues at Pharma,
we can turn the department into a complete,
innovative and valuable company division. I am
most proud of the progress we have made so far,
not just in developing Intra Epidine but also but
also developing new products and obtaining the
GMP production licence.
