Goodbye message
Peter Jansen
Owner PJ4Technology : Consultancy and (interim) management for life sciences, (bio)materials and (bio)chemicals
Last week after almost 25 year I have held my goodbye meeting at #Corbion.
With this I want to thank my colleagues for the overwhelming attention, the warm words and the very nice presents and experiences they gave.
?
Looking? back, I really enjoyed working at Corbion and I am proud on all the achievements, I was able to contribute. To give some examples: ?
·??????? New powder plants for PURAC and PURASAL powders in Europe
·????? Improved sustainability of production processes for lactic acid and derivatives (resulting in plant adaptations and new plants in eg Thailand)
·????? Scaled up Lactide and PLA products from kilogram batches to continuous operation at several kton/y
·????? Demonstrated (fermentation based) processes for biobased building blocks like Succinic acid, FDCA and Acrylic Acid
·????? Expanded application knowhow needed for strategic business growth

·????? Developed and Improved GMP processes for current and new lactic acid based copolymers used in biomedical applications like controlled drug delivery and orthopedics
·????? Developed lactic acid based copolymers for industrial applications (eg. Adhesives)
·????? Scale up new breakthrough technology for resorbable glass fiber/copolymers composites used in biomedical applications.
?
These strategic innovations were only possible because of good collaboration with all different experts (in R&D, Operations and all other Business Functions) which shows the importance of a great internal and external network. I really enjoyed working together with teams in a can-do mentality to combine business opportunities with technological expertise. Furthermore, I am proud that after growing my own experience in different challenging innovation projects, I could support the growth of the business, the organization and the individual people. The different strategic business development courses and the eg the "7 Habits train the trainer" courses helped me to strengthen teams and individual performances.
?
After these almost 25 years at Corbion/Purac it is ?good to take some time to reflect on my strengths in order to discover where to find new win-win opportunities in sustainable innovations.
I wish all my colleagues at Corbion all the best in the future and thank them again.
