Enterprise Data Management Specialist bij Refresco

Vacature omschrijving

Refresco is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year, as it was founded in 2000. With 70 factories and 11,000 employees, the Dutch company has seen impressive growth as it has consistently managed to double its turnover every five years. And that growth shows no signs of slowing. Refresco bottled more than 11 billion liters of soft drinks last year. 

Refresco Group is the world’s largest independent bottler of soft drinks and fruit juices for retailers and branded beverage companies. With production in the Benelux, Finland, France, Germany, Iberia, Italy, Poland, the UK, the US, Canada and Mexico, our global sourcing and local R&D capabilities offer an almost unlimited variety of products, manufactured to customer specifications and requirements. In addition to the efficiency of our bottling processes, we can also provide our customers with total supply chain solutions – from planning and sourcing of raw materials and packaging through to warehousing and transportation. We are able to develop new concepts and bring these to market in an extremely short time frame. Refresco Group is headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Refresco is a very decentralized organization. slightly over 120 people work at the head office in Rotterdam, versus more than 11,000 employees elsewhere in the world. Confidence in the strength of good, local teams is a hallmark of Refresco's approach to the business. The teams make decisions in close collaboration with the central team but have a large sense of ownership choosing the best approach for their local market. 

The desire to continue growing is reflected across every layer of the organization. This translates into an extremely enterprising group of people who are constantly setting new things in motion and really want to make an impact. A focus on personal growth and development is a priority at Refresco.
