Meet Danny, our Manufacturing Manager

What started as helping out on the floor has grown into a role where I help set the direction.

About the role and daily work

My name is Danny, and I’ve been with Boven Yvo for more than fifteen years. What started as a shop-floor assistant role has grown into a position where I help shape the company’s direction. As workshop manager, I make sure production runs smoothly and efficiently every day; assigning tasks, managing the schedule, and ensuring the quality of everything we deliver.

 

No two days are the same. Some are calm and predictable; others require quick thinking and creative problem-solving. That variety keeps me sharp. I remember a major project that had to be completed ahead of schedule. We had to completely reorganize the planning to get it out on time. Everyone pulled together, and we made the deadline. Moments like that are why I’m proud to be part of this team."

About the company culture and atmosphere

The atmosphere at Boven Yvo and, by extension, FXG can best be described as honest, collegial, and down-to-earth. There’s no gap between “management” and the team. Everyone knows each other, and there’s a strong sense of trust. We share plenty of laughs, but we also know when it’s time to roll up our sleeves.

 

Appreciation often shows in small, genuine gestures — a sincere “thank you” or a pat on the back after a demanding day says enough. Here, you feel that your work truly matters.

About development and growth

Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal — not only technical skills, but also how to lead and coach others. Planning, communicating, and taking responsibility are abilities I’ve developed here. FXG trusts me to do my job independently while also guiding the people around me. Here, you’re given the space to grow at your own pace and in a way that matches your strengths.

“What do I look forward to each day? That feeling at the end of a project when you know you’ve built something together.”

I feel proud when I see our completed projects. Not everything always runs perfectly, but working at FXG is extremely rewarding. If you like to take initiative, collaborate and take responsibility, you will feel completely at home here.
