Dutch Plantin is growing and that calls for the right people. We are happy to welcome
three new colleagues: Christian Brugel, Shanti Mani and Niels van Vlerken. With their
help, we will take our commercial organisation, international services and day-to-day
operational processes to the next level.
Christian Brugel joins the commercial team
Christian Brugel, our new sales manager, has an international background and invaluable
experience in the horticulture sector. At Dutch Plantin, he supports our commercial team with
the sale of our coconut substrates in the Netherlands and surrounding countries.
He also focuses on further developing the European market for our pressed coconut
products from India. Lastly, he is helping us seize new opportunities in the market and further
bolster our commercial organisation.
Shanti Mani supports our international services
Out of our sales department in India, Shanti Mani supports our clients in various international
markets. One of Shanti’s many strong suits is the fact that she speaks multiple languages,
including Spanish, allowing us to offer our international clients even better and more personal
service.
Niels van Vlerken professionalises our operational processes
Last but certainly not least: our new operations manager Niels van Vlerken. He oversees our
day-to-day operational and production activities in Boekel and Helmond.
Niels has extensive experience in the horticulture sector, combined with a strong
entrepreneurial drive and keen commercial insights. He uses these talents to help us further
develop our organisation and contribute to Dutch Plantin’s growth.
With three new colleagues and increased production capacity, we are ready to take the next
step: delivering our consistent quality and personal service to even more growers around the
world.
