We celebrate 25 years of dedication
Claus began as an operator on the night shift, occasionally stepping in on day shifts. In 2004, he started his apprenticeship and completed his training in 2006. “I was going to be here anyway, so I might as well get an education,” Claus says. After several years on the night shift, he became foreman in 2008. The later transition from foreman to Production Manager came as part of an organisational change designed to simplify and strengthen the structure.
Colleagues describe Claus as warm, calm by nature and always solution oriented. He is determined in finding the right way forward, reliable, someone you can count on and a colleague you can always trust. He constantly juggles many tasks – and does it exceptionally well. His spirits are always high, he never loses his temper, and his approach is characterised by integrity and a clear overview. Drawing on his own experience from the night shift, he is good at taking special considerations while also setting clear expectations for both colleagues and the production. Flexibility is a natural part of the way he works.
Fifteen years ago, the workday looked entirely different. As a foreman, Claus had a small shed in Hall 2 and managed production using plastic sleeves, a ballpoint pen and manual oversight. With six hose lines running at 13–14 metres per minute, it required structure – and those plastic sleeves were essential.
Today, Claus is responsible for all three halls, where the lines run at 32 metres per minute, robots support efficiency, and large volumes of machine data offer new opportunities for insight and error correction. Everything is digital now, and although Claus still appreciates his plastic sleeves, he values the development and the opportunities it brings.
Looking back on his 25 years at Lynddahl, he highlights the development, the good people and the culture. When he started, the canteen didn’t exist – lunch was eaten by a water trough. Over time, new managers, new systems and ongoing investments have shaped the workplace into what it is today. Claus appreciates the tone, the respect, the flexibility and the ever changing days where there is always something new to tackle. And it means a lot that the workplace is close to home – especially when the phone rings late at night and he needs to step in quickly.
Thank you, Claus, for your dedication, your craftsmanship and your commitment.
