Intraview
Introduction
I am Joey Otten, head of our production
team and I am honoured to kick off this latest
edition of Intraview.
A lot has changed in the years that I worked for Intracare.Whereas our production
used to be run with fairly simple machines, I am now heading a state-of-the-art site
where we manufacture our products to strict GMP standards.
Despite the big changes in the past years, it is still a pleasure to work at Intracare. No
day is the same and no challenge too great. Besides our customers, we also need to
deal with the authorities imposing stricter regulations and this requires quite some
adaptations and discipline from the production personnel. For example, our production
personnel has recently received advanced training again to become ‘pharmaceutical
professional’. A tough training, but necessary to keep everyone up to date.
This is all part of Intracare’s growth process.This process also involves working
overtime. Unfortunately, we are not able to manufacture everything within regular
working hours.Therefore I often need to call on the guys, after working hours or in
weekends.The great thing is that my men do this with great pleasure and without
complaining.
Our product is Intracare’s showcase, so we emphasise product quality but the finish is
definitely important as well.We aim for no less than 100% and are very proud of what
we have achieved.
I feel that the team is becoming increasingly better attuned to each other and functions
well overall. I have great respect for my team and the work that they get done.
Despite our recent expansion, we are already reaching the limits of our production
capacity again and this may sometimes lead to tensions.Therefore I am very glad that
the neighbouring building was acquired so that we can continue to grow after the
renovation (end of this year) in the years to come.This offers new possibilities for the
future.We are also investing in new machines which should make our work easier.
I hope you enjoy reading this edition of Intraview and if you ever have the opportunity
to visit us for a look behind the scenes, you are more than welcome.
Best regards,
Joey
