Dejond Fastening waves goodbye to Paul Swaans
After more than 35 years of experience in the fastener business – almost 9 years of which at Dejond Fastening – sales engineer Paul Swaans is going into well-deserved retirement. He will say goodbye to his customers and colleagues at the end of May. Yet his career had looked almost entirely different. "I was initially not invited for a job interview", he says.
Paul Swaans began his career at a company that also specialized in fasteners. There he was employed for more than 25 years. "I really worked myself up there from order picker to shop manager”, Paul says. "But after some changes in the company, I decided to look for another job."
Spotted in our Tubtara® department
Meet Furkan Selek, machine operator and quality inspector. We actually first got to know him back in 2021, when he joined our company as a student worker. And as fate would have it, he recently came across a job opening and decided to take his shot.
“During my application process, I was given the opportunity to participate in a trial week, rotating across the shop floor and working with various machines. It was a unique and educational experience, and it gave me a real sense of what it's like to work here. You can probably guess the rest… I’ve found my place here. I’m now a proud member of the team and I see many opportunities ahead to continue growing and developing myself.”
Hard workers
Many hands make light work. But what do you do when there's a lot of work and, due to circumstances, only a few hands available? For Kian and Michael from the warehouse, the answer was simple: get as much done as possible with the 4 hands that were available.
And that approach paid off. In just 8 working days, nearly as many orders were processed as would normally be done in 18-20 days with a full team. Despite the department being understaffed, the men continued to give it their all. The Aftersales team repeatedly offered help, but each time they were assured that the workload was under control.
At no point was there any sign of stress. Michael did mention some back pain, which is entirely understandable given the number of orders processed in just one week. Of course, it's not sustainable to keep up this pace with only 2 people, but the guys showed they were 100% committed and worked together with great efficiency. Thankfully, the sick team members are now back on the job.
A colleague's testimonial
"Problem-solving thinking in design & production" – a major advantage for our customers according to Lukas Versteele. In December 2024, he joined Dejond Fastening as the new production manager within the Tubtara® division.
What experience do you bring? "As a civil engineer-architect, I previously worked in aluminum production and in my own production-focused consultancy firm. I am familiar with the challenges of a modern manufacturing company. I am used to optimizing processes and products while considering aesthetics, cost, manufacturability, and other factors."
Why did you choose Dejond Fastening as your new employer? "Metal production suits me, and here I can combine the technical aspect with problem-solving thinking within a human-centered context. I appreciate that I have the opportunity to thoroughly get to know the company through different phases, so we can make more well-considered decisions in certain processes and further enhance the quality of our products."
How do you see the future? "I aim to help translate Dejond Fastening's vision into our production department. The question is not so much IF we can make something, but HOW we can make it so that customers receive exactly what they need. By thinking carefully from the design phase, execution becomes more efficient for our operators. Making everyone on the shop floor even prouder of what we achieve together – that’s what it’s all about."
