One role, four disciplines<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Flexfurn<\/a>, a Limburg-based SME backed by a strong private equity partner, is the leading specialist in innovative, stylish, and practical furniture for any event or business setting. To support their continued growth, they approached Stroom with a rather challenging request: finding a Supply Chain Manager who could combine warehousing, procurement, planning, and inventory management<\/strong> into a single role and who, ideally, would also have a technical background and strong people management skills. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
