Our team

Teamlead Production

Alexander van Veldhuisen

Every day is a challenge, and that’s what makes my job so much fun. I do everything to keep things going, from leading the team to performing quality checks to managing the planning.

“I’ve got three dogs and I’m crazy about them: an Irish Wolfhound, an Old American pit bull terrier and a Jack Russel, the only lady in the company and therefore also the boss 😉. I also like to work around the house and in the garden.”

Developing the organization and people, creating support for strategic decisions and delivering great results are what I strive for every day. This is how we achieve success together with the team, our suppliers, customers and other stakeholders and build valuable relationships.

For over 8 years I have been helping our customers in food, pharma and logistics to find the right cold chain solution. Creating a complete solution for our customer from scratch: that gives me a lot of energy!

Together we realize your cooling solutions

Do you want to ship chilled or conditioned?

Coolpack offers total solutions for chilled and conditioned shipping. In addition to the cooling elements, gel packs, foam packs and sponge packs produced at our location, you will also find various packaging products in our range. Because well-refrigerated shipping is always a combination of adding cooling elements and insulating.

Popular cooling packaging are the EPS boxes, also called tempex boxes. These white polystyrene cooling boxes are lightweight, have a high insulation value and protect your products well. They are reusable, but if you want to use the insulation box in the long term, the sturdy EPP boxes can also be interesting.

Environmentally conscious shipping packaging is increasingly popular. A nice development to see, and that is why we are proud to offer the EcoCoolBox: an ecological insulating shipping box which is made entirely of cardboard and paper fibres. The end user can therefore simply dispose of the box with the old paper after use. It is not for nothing that this innovative insulating box made of mono-material won an NL Packaging Award in 2020.
