Herstal, Walloon Region, Belgium
I started my work life in 1970 with a small company manufacturing printed circuits. I was attending my studies at the same time. In 1975, I joined RCA Solid State Europe as line Engineer, especially dealing with the chemical etching of silicon wafers and the electronic testing going with it. In 1979, I joined Colgate RD centre in Liege up to last year when I transferred to Therwil Colgate as PD&I Engineering Manager. In the course of my 32 years in Liege, I successively spent 22 years in Home Care product development and after, 11 years in Oral Care Product Development / Implementation & Support functions. I am currently looking after the implementation of new processes in the Oral Care manufacturing environment.
Home care products development up to 2001, then Oral Care PD and I&S up to March 2012
I was supporting production lines of silicon wafers etching, transistors and tiristors testing.
