TumbleJet Big-Box-Washers

A product from AgrinServ

My name is Sjaak van Keulen and I’ve been working at AgrinServ since 2021. Whilst studying for my Level 4 Mechatronics qualification, I was able to complete my work placement here. The best thing about my job is the variety. I mainly work in the workshop, but when things get busy, I can lend a hand with the engineering side of things.

I really enjoyed it here, so I joined the company after my work placement. Sometimes I go along to install the TumbleJet, if there’s a need for it. And if any problems arise with the machine, I visit the customer to sort them out.

My name is Rudy van der Veeken and I am a co-owner of AgrinServ. My father took the first steps towards setting up this company in 2002. We have since taken over the business from him a few years ago.

I’m mainly to be found in the workshop. This is where I supervise the team.
I also visit customers to find out what they need, so that I can find a solution. As well as that, I’m involved in the development of machinery myself. And I regularly go out on site to install machinery or carry out maintenance.

What do I enjoy doing most? I actually think everything’s brilliant!

I have been working at AgrinServ since September 2022. My main responsibility is managing the hire of the TumbleJet. Before I joined, they had already started planning, designing and building a new website. But I was lucky enough to be involved in the final stages! And to ensure it gets the attention it deserves.

I also deal with all sorts of administrative tasks at the office; from organising trade fairs and booking hotels for client visits, to various administrative duties and helping to create a good atmosphere. And I think I enjoy that last bit the most! We’re a young and driven team, and the level of commitment is truly impressive! I really like that energy!

Ever since I was young, I’ve enjoyed working with technology. Whilst studying electrical engineering at vocational college, I started working part-time at AgrinServ almost 20 years ago. The range of machinery and developments at AgrinServ grew, and together we worked on many machines, including the first Big-Box-Washers.

After completing this course, I moved to the big city and graduated in Industrial Automation. I then spent six years working for a large multinational in the field of process automation, before eventually returning to AgrinServ.

I like the fact that my cousin Rudy and I are far from alike; we tend to see eye to eye on technical matters and the business, but we also complement each other well when it comes to practical matters.
After my family, I am most proud of the trust placed in us by our customers, our fantastic team and our founder Theo, who is steering AgrinServ’s future.
