Approba Recruits Full Plant Team for Tessenderlo Kerley Netherlands

When Tessenderlo Kerley Netherlands BV launched its new facility, they entrusted Approba with one of their most critical tasks: building nearly the entire plant team from the ground up. Apart from the Plant Manager—already part of the Tessenderlo Kerley group—every key position was filled through Approba’s recruitment efforts.

From field operators and DCS/control room operators to the Plant Operations Manager, Approba delivered the talent needed to ensure a strong, capable team from day one. This project showcases our ability to handle complete staffing for complex technical environments—quickly, precisely, and in close partnership with our client.
