Our people

"Since November 2022, I’ve been working as a recruiter at Bronkhorst. That means almost everyone who applies will meet me at some point. Not because I like to interfere, but because I schedule the interviews, ask the questions and sometimes help ease the nerves. Think of me as the friendly gatekeeper, coffee or tea included. I already knew Bronkhorst as a client. It is down to earth, approachable and no nonsense. When the recruiter vacancy came up, I immediately knew this was an opportunity I didn’t want to miss. It turned out to be the right choice, as I still enjoy working here every day. In my role, I collaborate with managers across the entire company, which allows me to quickly get to know both the organization and its people. What I value most is recruiting my future colleagues. You meet someone in an interview and later run into them at the coffee machine or a company event. Sometimes they recognize me from that first conversation, sometimes they don’t. Both are fine. New colleagues bring fresh ideas and keep us sharp. That is what makes my work so rewarding. I help people take the next step in their careers while they strengthen Bronkhorst with new perspectives. A true win win."

“I was already interested in Bronkhorst before I joined the company. What attracted me most is how many different technologies come together in the products and the fact that Bronkhorst develops its own unique solutions. The role of Sales Engineer immediately appealed to me because, coming from a commercial background, I wanted to deepen my technical knowledge. At Bronkhorst, I got that opportunity. In my role as a Sales Engineer, being customer-focused and reliable is the foundation of my work. I naturally switch quickly between topics and always aim to find the best solution. I work within the Customer Care department, where I support distributors in the DACH region together with my team. These distributors assist end customers and collaborate with us at the headquarters in Ruurlo to find the right answers. Because of our broad and in-depth product portfolio, the work is very diverse and continuously presents new challenges. Together with my department, I’m responsible for supporting our distributors in a professional and service-oriented way. By understanding the application behind each request, I help connect the right technology to the right solution, directly contributing to customer satisfaction. Although I work independently on projects and tickets, collaboration is key. Within Customer Care, we operate as one team with short lines of communication and strong cooperation across regions."

"I first got to know Bronkhorst through my wife, who had previously completed an internship there. Hearing about her positive experiences sparked my curiosity and encouraged me to apply myself. As I learned more about the company, I quickly felt that it was a place where I would fit in. The combination of technological innovation across a wide range of industries, a strong focus on sustainability, and the warm, family-oriented culture immediately appealed to me. What stood out most to me on my first day was the atmosphere. It was so open and informal that I felt comfortable right away almost like walking into a living room where everyone is free to be themselves. That was especially important to me. Because of my ADHD, I can become overstimulated more easily, so a supportive and understanding work environment makes a real difference. At Bronkhorst, this was taken into account from day one. People listened, thought along with me, and made me feel truly seen and valued. Since then, I have completed two internships within the Strategic Marketing & Communications department. During my first internship, I worked on the Bronkhorst Bode, an internal communications project that I had the opportunity to redesign and modernize. During my graduation internship, I was able to further develop my skills, take ownership of projects, and gain valuable hands-on experience. The combination of creativity, communication, and collaboration made every day both educational and rewarding."

"During my Applied Physics studies at university, I often missed the connection between theory and real-world application. That motivated me to move away from purely academic research and look for an environment where innovation becomes tangible. At Bronkhorst, I found exactly that: a company where research and practical applications come together. The combination of a driven family business, a strong sense of responsibility, and social engagement immediately appealed to me and matched how I view work. I started as a Project Engineer, like many colleagues in R&D, working on the development of a new sensor. It was a challenging assignment, but with the support of experienced colleagues, I successfully completed it. Today, I lead a team of talented and determined engineers developing future-proof technologies for leading high-tech companies worldwide. My role is not only to provide direction, but also to stay people-focused and ensure we work towards shared goals. Our department is involved across multiple phases of the product lifecycle from research and development to industrialization, validation, and even customer-specific problem solving. We continuously create innovative solutions that did not exist before, requiring creativity, technical depth, and strong collaboration."
