Venlo

On the 18th of June Van der Waals will go to Venlo to bring a visit to Canon Production Printing. Canon Production Printing develops high-tech printing products and workflow software for the commercial printing market. The company dates back to 1857, with the founding of a local pharmacy. Nowadays, they operate a global network of R&D, manufacturing and logistics centers. The biggest part of our employees works in R&D, and teams usually consist of 5-15 members. Within R&D, there are many career routes to take. They have a flat hierarchy which results in a lot of freedom and switching assignment when you’re up for a new challenge is highly supported, which results in many of our colleagues staying with us for a long time. Disciplines within CPP include chemistry, data science, software, mechatronics, electronics, manufacturing and logistics.

We will leave for Venlo at 11:00 and leave to Eindhoven around 17:00. We will take the train from Eindhoven Centraal. There will be free coffee and vlaai and the transport is also free.
This activity is worth 2 MFA.

The no-show policy and the subscription policy apply. You can (un)subscribe until the 9th of June.
