Historias de empleados

I came to Trivium from a much smaller company and at first, I worried whether my knowledge would be enough for this global firm. But with the help of my colleagues, I learned a lot, and now I’m confident managing all the situations that come up.

I need to have a good knowledge of all the processes, from the beginning of the customer design building for prints in the studio to the final making of cans or components. My job is not just to check and ensure the quality of our products and processes conforms to Trivium standards and customer expectations, but also to issue the documents we need to engage with customers, suppliers and auditors.

I’m focused on two areas, firstly satisfying the customer – you need to achieve the best quality that you can with the tools that you have. But I’m equally focused on avoiding problems in production – such as minimising scrap and any loss of efficiency. I don't want to stop until I find the right way to reach our targets.

Being between the customer and production is the best thing about my job. It means you need to make big decisions, and that helps you develop in your career.

I'm the connection point between the central Change team and in the plant. That means bringing the operational excellence strategy into the plant with a dedicated roadmap. We’re focused on improving operational KPIs including energy consumption – which is connected to sustainability. In the journey of transformation, you start from a diagnostic phase to find all the opportunities for improvement, then design and implement the activities to meet the targets.

We brought in a new system called the Trivium Line Monitor, which was a big change for the shop floor people, who had to learn to use new technology. Our operators gave us input that helped us focus on where we needed to improve. Now they are very enthusiastic about the system, and it really is the daily tool. It was a great collaboration as it was an opportunity for the optics team to learn something about the machine part and for the shop floor people to learn how the system works to support their job. 

The best thing about my job is that I can see the full cycle of improvement from beginning to end. I have the chance to discover the area of improvement, to plan the action and then to deliver it, and actually see the results – which is exciting.

I provide software support for the Graphics Studios in our European plants. It’s mostly remote, but sometimes I go on site to upgrade the systems, do maintenance or break/fixes. Each plant has its own metal packaging expertise – in France we make a lot of seafood packaging; in the Netherlands we specialise in nutrition product, a lot of powders, like baby milk, coffee and chocolate.

We use offset lithographic printing onto flat metal sheets for many of our products, but print directly onto aerosols. Our Graphics Studios prepare everything for printing – creating and dealing with artwork files, adding or correcting barcodes, checking the colours and so on. If they have any issues or technical queries, they can raise a ticket and get support. It’s really important that everything is correct and running smoothly.

Being a global company, there are different mindsets and cultural behaviours in Trivium – in Italy or France, for instance, people prefer to pick up the phone rather than communicate online. I enjoy solving problems and helping others. It's always the goal to share knowledge and make guidance accessible across the whole company, not just for one or two people. I learned early on in life that if you share knowledge, you learn more yourself.

I studied forensic science, so when I joined Trivium, I didn’t know anything about can making – everything was new. I did training to learn about two- and three-piece cans, seaming, ends and openings. I spent weeks in different departments – from customer service to technical – to find out how all the different functions work together.

In my job, every day is different. You start off with a cup of coffee and reading emails, but then we’ll find out about an issue in production that we need to focus on. The production departments do a lot of checks themselves, but at the laboratory we can dig deeper into the details.

We do a wide range of work on improvements, from line speed to openings. I lead some projects and participate in others led by the Operational Excellence team. We currently have ends that are 0.18mm and we’re working towards making them 0.16mm to meet our sustainability commitments.

We do investigations in the laboratory, but we’re actually working in teams all day. We compare measurements and samples with plants all over Europe, to make sure everyone is aligned and accurate. Teamwork is crucial because we’re working on the same thing and maintaining the same high standards across so many different territories.

I’m in charge of production at the Campegine plant, which makes metal packaging for our food clients. My job covers many aspects, from safety to quality and production and I collaborate with the Supply Chain and Planning departments. I also focus on analysis of the plant’s activities and specific initiatives such as spoilage reduction, OEE improvement and energy consumption reduction.

I became part of the Continuous Improvement team, and I apply the tools and approaches I’ve gained from this experience in every task I face. Most of the plant’s customers are geographically close to us, and the main target for us is to deliver them on time, in full, with the best quality, while also operating efficiently and focusing on the KPIs.

Every day I follow up with Operational Team and Planning Department, setting priorities and exchanging ideas on how we can improve the process more and more. Everyone’s engaged and we listen to each other to find the best solutions: I really enjoy getting to know my colleagues and working to achieve targets together.
