I joined Trivium in 2020, not long after it was formed. There’s a lot of enthusiasm about becoming the world leader in metal packaging and acting on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. I wanted to be a part of it and see what would happen.

As the first person recruited by my direct manager, I learned that “HR Inclusive Policy” were not just words for her but describe the real actions of a global strategy. And every day since then I have been inspired to give the best of myself.

Helping to modernize the company’s HR services is no humdrum routine. I can wake up in France, Morocco, the Netherlands, Korea or the Seychelles to face an incredible wide range of challenges. At the end of the day, I always realize how much Human Resources is about humans and not just resources.

If you do want routine, you can find it at Trivium, but for people looking to tackle big challenges, there a great opportunities. No matter what the pressures of the day are, I always share the pleasure of working here with my colleagues around the world. And the more it goes on, the more I like it!

I worked in metal packaging first as a mechanic, then a shift manager, and I’m now Aerosol Ends Department Manager at Trivium in Italy. Every morning I meet up with shift leaders to plan activities and discuss any issues from the previous day. I record the data from the presses and all maintenance activities. I manage the material movements in the spare parts warehouse and schedule interventions of external technicians.

The team has long been focused on standardising output and increasing automation. Through automating the more dangerous processes, we have improved the machine safety and there have been no injuries in our department for several years.

I have grown professionally in my role and trained other colleagues in my team. I started studying English and working with other plants in the company from the Netherlands to the Czech Republic.

I like to work on new projects, such as the downgauging of materials and finding new ways to reduce maintenance activities. I collaborate with other managers to continuously improve and solve various issues. I like my job because gives me the opportunity to improve every day on both technical and organizational aspects.

Arjan Allkja
Arjan is an Aerosol Ends Department Manager in Italy

I’m a mother of two lively children. In a typical day, I help them get ready for school then I start work, either at home, or from the office, as needed. I love being able to balance my two big passions in life: my work and my family.

I’m responsible for planning, implementing, and monitoring our overall supply chain strategies in two plants. With my team, I oversee every stage of our organization's supply chain, from purchasing raw materials to production. We must ensure that the product comes at just the right time and coordinate the right storage, to make sure it is shipped to our customer correct and on time.

In my job, good communication and an open mindset are important. You have to build co-operative relationships and adapt to pursue different challenges. I need to be able to handle multiple tasks simultaneously and stay focused on all the different critical aspect of the supply chain. It’s complex and challenging, but I love it. At Trivium we work hard but we also have fun, and when you are happy at work the mountains don’t seem so high!

Roberta is Inventory & Supply Chain Manager at Montecchio and Campegine plants, Italy

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. 

Gian Marco Soliani
Gian Marco is Production Manager at Campegine plant, Italy

I studied product design and engineering. I was working in manufacturing and wanted to move back to Deventer from Utrecht to be nearer parents so I could support them. I looked for jobs within a seven-mile radius, because I can cycle there and back.

I chose Trivium because I like the mechanics of it, and the fact that we are making a physical product. When I go to the grocery store, I can check the letters on the can and see if it’s one of ours and what plant it has come from.

One of the things I check on is spoilage – keeping it as low as possible. We have cameras and sensors that take readings, so I stay on top of this data and make any adjustments needed. I also help implement the 5S system to keep the workplace in good order and efficient.

I like the process of thinking ‘how can we make things?’ and ‘how does it work?’ I went from the drawing board to the place where things are actually made. My job is all about bringing plans into reality. There are always issues that you need to understand and overcome through feedback and collaboration. The people here are passionate – they really want to make good easy opening ends.
