VanBerlo – part of Accenture
After graduation from my bachelor I moved from Zwolle to Eindhoven and joined the team of VanBerlo. After I my third year the company was aqcuiered by Accenture providing a range of new opportunities.
Fulfilling the roll as design engineer, I was very happy that I was able to contribute to more than 50 projects for different clients in three primary domains: FMCG, Mobility and Juvenile.
I was part of a team that handled a significant amount of work for the FMCG market. The main work was done in 19 projects for the six of the brands of Reckitt Becnkiser. Where I played a key role in the technical development of packaging solutions. I focused on surface modeling using Creo Parametrics. I worked on numerous detergent packaging projects, primarily involving extrusion blow molding. In addition to blow molding, I gained experience in carton packaging and injection molding, creating various models using 3D printing techniques. I also had the opportunity to engage extensively with clients, particularly marketing teams and R&D professionals, which significantly improved my communication and visualization skills. This allowed me to communicate professionally and effectively with both clients and partners. It was an intensive learning experience, where I collaborated closely with highly experienced professionals (with 15+ years of expertise), greatly enriching my technical and interpersonal skills.
As all projects are confidential and part of the organizations innovation strategy, no project content
can be shared, but below a few of the organizations I have worked with.

To whom it may concern, during the 3 years at VanBerlo Joris showed to be a hard worker with an attitude to never give up. He has great skills in 3D CAD modeling (CREO surfacing), which allow him to quickly make great CAD models, engineering a product in every detail or which he applies to quickly make detailed functional prototypes (for example by 3D printing). His hands-on approach helps a lot in the phase where quick mock-ups and testing is needed to speed up the decision process. He grew as person understanding limits and possibilities where he also grew a lot in the Engineering and design thinking process. Joris communicates very well and works with other disciplines. He is a very creative person with a hands-on attitude. He dives into a challenge with his sleeves rolled up. I would describe Joris as an open, social and friendly team player who is easy to work with. Overall I have a very positive view of Joris and wish him the best of luck for all his future. I would sincerely recommend him.
Kind regards,

To whom it may concern, at VanBerlo I collaborated with Joris both on projects and on our internal bussiness development (comprising the analysis of our VanBerlo network, spoting new business opportunities including follow-up). Within this collaboration, I admired the drive and ambition that Joris showed me. He is the type of guy that is self-starting and when assigning him to a task, for sure it will result in discussion on the scope and relevance of the topic, but in parallel to efficiently working on the task in a very structured way. Joris will make sure all needed information gets in and will reach out to both our internal and external network to get in touch and make sure that things are happening and moving in the right way. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions or further information.

I’ve got to know Joris as an open and energetic guy, who is not only an eager but also a quick learner. He is keen to pick up responsibility, within his own competence as a design engineer, but also outside of that, for instance by supporting and engaging in business development. During the 3 years he worked at VanBerlo, he became one of the go to design engineers for 3D CAD modelling in CREO. With his modelling skills and built-up technical knowledge of the FMCG field, he greatly contributed to many of the projects for Reckitt, the account I am responsible for. Though it is a loss to see Joris leave VanBerlo, his choice to engage in a Masters at the TU/e is an example of his eager and entrepreneurial attitude.

Sad to see Joris leave our company as he was a respected member of our engineering team. I saw Joris grow both as a person and as a professional in the 3 years we where working together. Joris started at VanBerlo straight from school and had a lot to learn, but he was more than eager to do so. He developed to colleague who was able to work well in our teams and added more and more value each year. As a person he was always in for a chat and a joke and adapted well to all the changes in the last years, he is simply a very pleasant person to work with.
I wish you all the best in your studies and keep asking “WHY”?
