Wir, Thermaflex

My name is Miranda Eekels, I work as Organisation Development Specialist for the North-West Europe region. I joined Thermaflex in June 1999, in a Management Support role. Reason for me to join Thermaflex was the diversified and challenging role within an international, family run, business. I like working for Thermaflex because of the informal culture, the friendly colleagues and the opportunities for me to learn and grow.

My work-life balance is also very important to me, the balance between a challenging job and time for my other passions. One of my great passions is sports. I like to run, play tennis, golf and ride on my motorcycle. Leading a healthy life, being fit and energetic is important for me. As program coordinator of the ´Vitality program´ in the Netherlands I can also support the vitality of my colleagues. The program will continue in the coming year(s) with all kinds of activities focused on leading a healthy and energetic life.

I am Łukasz and I have been in charge of sales in Thermaflex for 7 years. Initially, I was connected with Customer Service Department but currently I am a part of the Engineering department.

I perceive Thermaflex as my home where a working atmosphere is wonderful. This is a perfect place for those who want to participate actively in improving the quality of our environment. Thermaflex is a powerful company with vast experience in insulation and modern solutions, which enables self-development for every employee. In short, Thermaflex is a recipe for the safe future.

What is holding me here? A great team and widely understood possibilities of development offered by the company. Both a vision and a mission responding perfectly to my daily life, based on saving. A significant aspect of work is achievement. As far as my position is concerned, each satisfied customer is a success. It is connected with the quality of our products and services. If I were to focus on my greatest achievement, I would choose an order for the first biogas plant in Poland, with the use of Flexalen system. For the rest, I'm interested in film and music. In my spare time, I play football and support Formula 1 drivers.

My name is Wantana Sampaothong, nickname is Tom. I work as Financial and Information Manager. I joinedThermaflex Asia in 1993. At first I decided to work for this company because of the welfare and benefits they offer to employees. But after 2-3 years working with Thermaflex I fell in love with this organization. The management in Thailand understands well the Thai culture and that is important. I have the 2 children the eldest is daughter, she is studying at the University. My son is studying a marine course.

There are many stories and experiences to tell which happened during the time I worked here, both with joy and sorrow. Thermaflex in Thailand is about working as a team, it is like a big family.
Thermaflex Asia takes care and is attentive supporting the employees life and their families. I'm happy to be working with the company.

My name is Peter Van den Broecke and I am the sales and marketing Manager for Thermaflex Asia. I started in this position end of December 2014. I am happy to be part of Thermaflex Asia, because despite being small, I strongly believe we can create a unique footprint in the South East Asian region. Combining our sustainable solutions together with partner companies who share the same durable passion for making a positive impact on our lives and those of generation to come.

I Am A Belgian and worked for over 24 years in Europe, in mid and big size chemical companies in several International roles before moving to Thailand just under 3 years ago.
Other than Thermaflex our 14 month old son will ensure I have plenty to do whenever he sees his chance and I am a key learner at every moment of time of any new things

I got to know Thermaflex when I was working as a technician in one of the first projects they realized in Panama and I was impressed by the new technologies they brought and the service they provided in terms of trainings and technical support. When later I learned they were looking for a technical support guy, I applied for the job and they hired me. Now being with Thermaflex for four years, I can look back at an interesting journey where I have been able to develop myself technically but also commercially and as a person, working with many different stakeholders on a daily basis.

And not only in Panama but in many other countries in the region since within the position the regional responsible for Project Realization that I hold today, I´ve had the chance to get in touch with many other cultures, also through colleagues from other parts of the world.

The dynamic culture of Thermaflex, characterized by a flat structure, requests quite some responsibility and own initiative but when you fit in this type of environment (which is not typical for Latin America), there is a great opportunity to learn and grow.

I’m Rafał and I’ve been involved in production management for 8 years. For me, Thermaflex brings together people who want to introduce innovative solutions and respect the dialogues between people – everyone has an opportunity to contribute. There aren't any communication barriers and we can talk to each other, regardless of ones position in the company.

For me, Thermaflex is a place where my interests and predispositions may be used. I share my technical knowledge, management experience and, at the same time, I can improve my skills in various fields. The introduction of improvements which make our work more effective satisfies me the most.

My hobbies have been always connected with technique. As a child I used to repair different things, such as my motorcycle. My latest purchase is an antique car Citroen 2CV from 1979, which I renovated. Besides a garage, I spend free time in my garden. I'm interested in architecture, non-fiction historical and travel books. I also enjoy mountain biking.

Mein Name ist Silke Matisovits-Bauer. Eigentlich begann ich meine Tätigkeit bei Thermaflex in Österreich als vorübergehende Angestellte für eine Kollegin in Elternkarenz für 1 Jahr. Nach dieser aufregenden Zeit gab mir Thermaflex die Möglichkeit eine herausfordernde Position als Marketing Communication Spezialist für den österreichischen Markt anzunehmen und zeitgleich zusammen mit dem internationalen Team die Marketing Communication für die gesamte Thermaflex Gruppe aufzubauen.

Nun arbeite ich bereits mehr als 10 Jahre bei Thermaflex und in dieser Zeit sind einige Kollegen mehr als das geworden - Freunde! Ich liebe die Herausforderungen, die sich besonders im Marketing, im Zusammenhang mit unserer Mission ein nachhaltiges Unternehmen zu werden, stellen.

In meiner Freizeit liebe ich es zu reisen und zu wandern, neue Kulturen kennenzulernen, zu lesen und zu fotografieren. Eines meiner Lebensabenteuer war eine Weltreise über 3 Monate, wo ich mit mehr als 10.000 Bildern zurückkehrte!

My name is Prajak Prakobkit. I work as a sale representative in the position of “Projects Manager” and pre-fabricated products specialist. I joined Thermaflex Asia back in 1995. I like to solve the insulation installation difficulties of my client as every problem brings some new challenge...

I have 2 sons and most of the time apart from my job, I spend time with them. I am very happy when we do family activities or when I help them improve their English language ... The whole family is well connected to my colleagues and managers as we know each other’s for a long time, just like a big family. We do several activities together.

Thermaflex takes care of families and employees. That ensures the support of my family regarding my working life. I am very happy to work here due to the company openness for employees self-development.

My name is Yarko Picavet. I’m the international ICT Expert. Why Thermaflex? I wasn’t striving for a typical IT consultant job after my study “Business informatics”, my goal was to have a much broader scope. That is exactly how it works at Thermaflex, plenty of room for new ideas and creativity!

So I started my journey within the company 16 years ago. From system manager in the Netherlands – switches and cables! - towards all-round international expert in the field of ICT. This international role suits me very well. I was born in Peru, I speak different foreign languages and like travelling a lot. I want to learn and understand different local cultures, customs and traditions during my business travels in order to better understand my international colleagues.

At home I keep connected to my ICT background, I like domotics, home automation! My family is not always happy with this as they sometimes get confused on how to activate the lights, heating or TV. As an ICT expert learning never stops, no time to lay back, I always have to keep track of new developments and of course new gadgets.

Ich bin Gerhard Janca. Ich habe 1992 angefangen bei Thermaflex zu arbeiten - Im Alter von 20 Jahren direkt nach meinem Abschluss an der Technischen Hochschule und dem Wehrdienst. Ich habe als interner technischer Service-Ingenieur begonnen, welcher alle anfallenden technischen Dinge in der Firma erledigte. Nach 7 Jahren wurde ich verantwortlich für Engineering und Netzwerkdesign als Spezialist in der österreichischen Niederlassung und seit 2005 untertsütze ich auch meine Kollegen in den CEE countries.

Ich bin Ingenieur mit Leib & Seele und liebe mein Aufgabengebiet hier bei Thermaflex. Ich interessiere mich für Nachhaltigkeit und versuche stets Menschen von der Bedeutung der Ressourcenschonung im Hinblick auf zukünftige Generationen zu sensibilisieren. Bereits vor 15 Jahren habe ich die Abfalltrennung in unserer österreichischen Niederlassung eingeführt.

Ich bin ein leidenschaftlicher Do-it-yourselfer und verbringe meine Freizeit gerne in meinem Garten. Im Winter fahre ich Ski und versuche mich auch so stets mit regelmäßigem Sport fit zu halten.
