Working at BAKON!

"Hey there! Welcome to BAKON Food Equipment, the place where experience, craftsmanship, and ambition come together. I'm Halilcan Durgun, 24 years old, and living in Terneuzen. In my free time, I enjoy being busy myself in the kitchen and I'm a beginning enthusiast in photography, which complements my other passion: traveling!

My journey with BAKON started during my final year of studies when I had the opportunity to do my graduation assignment here. It was a choice I've never regretted. What I find truly amazing is that right from day one, there is a complete investment in you as an individual to help you grow into the person you aspire to be. Ambitions are encouraged, and with the personal guidance of experienced colleagues, there is always room to learn new things. As an Order Manager in the Sales Department, I'm on the commercial side of the company, interacting with customers from all over the world on a daily basis. This aligns perfectly with my education and background. Assisting customers and securing orders gives me a sense of fulfillment every day as I head home.

For me, success comes not only from hard work but also from the joy and satisfaction I derive from what I do!

If you recognize yourself in my story and are eager to join our dynamic team, I enthusiastically encourage you to apply today, without any obligations!”

"My name is Martijn Walrave, and I recently completed my degree in Industrial Engineering and Management. During my studies, I successfully blended my passion for technology with a focus on optimizing business processes. This enthusiasm isn't confined to academia; as an avid competitive sailor, I've learned firsthand that precision, strategy, and technical expertise are critical for success. Three years ago, I had the privilege of interning at BAKON, where I specialized in process optimization. My efforts culminated in a fruitful research project that led to measurable improvements in our operational workflows. Taking the lead in implementing these enhancements was an honor, and it's inspiring to see the enduring benefits of this work.

What attracts me to BAKON is precisely the ability to implement innovative solutions that have a meaningful impact and shape what matters for tomorrow. The diversity of our machinery and the challenges presented by our specialized assembly environment offer endless opportunities for growth and improvement. Although I have completed my bachelor's studies, my academic journey is far from over; I am currently pursuing a Master's degree. As I continue my academic and professional development, I am eager for the opportunity to further optimize BAKON's operational, tactical, and strategic processes, thereby contributing to the company's sustained growth and success. Furthermore, I firmly believe that a culture of continuous improvement and innovation is essential for maintaining our leading position in the bakery machine industry.”

"My name is Cynthia Pepping, I live in Zierikzee and I have been working for four years at BAKON now. Besides that I like to have fun with my friends or I go for a swim after a busy day. During my study Accountancy I started my graduate internship at Bakon to strenghten our administrative processes. I quickly felt in place here, because everyone helps and supports each other to reach and improve our goals together.

BAKON is a growing and fast improving organization, which we are achieving with a relatively small team. This gives you as an individual much opportunities to grow along and BAKON is always very supportive when you have good ideas or initiatives.

For me as an Accountancy student, this gave me the chance to have a big role in implementing a new ERP system right after my graduation research, as part of this I assisted in work preparation and production planning for more than a year during the implementation and now I'm growing in my role as a Controller in Finance department.

If you like working together and are motivated to not only improve yourself, but also any of the work environments you will end up in, BAKON is the place to win as one!”
