Customer Service Representative in our most colorful department: Roy’s story at Color Solutions
When he was twenty, Roy began his career at a lamp importer, after which he spent six months a year traveling through Asia for large chemical companies. “It was nice,” he says, “but very hectic and impossible to combine with a family.” Seeking calmer waters, he ended up in the Pigments department of our company.
When asked what makes his work so interesting, he answers enthusiastically: “The international aspect of it, the contact with European and Asian colleagues and foreign customers – that is something I have always enjoyed very much.” It is clear that Roy thrives in the international team at Color Solutions. “Working in the team is just great fun,” he says, “and Profiltra is a true family business, where the social aspect is very important. They organize enjoyable team events and company outings throughout the year, so in short, I really enjoy my time here.”
Asked about the most important skills for his position, Roy answers: “In my role, you must speak fluent English and German, be willing to provide your own input, have commercial insight, and if you also have some understanding of logistical processes, that is a plus.” He emphasizes that there is still much to learn in his position and that the willingness to learn and take on new challenges is crucial.
The international character, the close cooperation, and the family atmosphere make his workplace not only a pleasant environment but also a place he enjoys going to every day.
