Let us introduce you the people behind our film and water storage solutions
Welding expert and frontman at outdoor projects
Jan is perhaps the most talked-about person of NPI ánd the most talking person of NPI. You often hear him long before you see him, and that has been the case for a remarkable 24 years! Jan joined NPI in 1992. With his welding skills, he quickly evolved into a true all-rounder. Over time, however, he developed his own specialisations. Jan excels in the special products department, where he welds customised items such as sleeves, covers and 3D ponds. But even more so, he is the leading man for NPI’s outdoor projects at location. In case his face is familiar to you, we get that. As our main outdoor welder, he is often the one seen in photos!
Although he took a brief detour to another employer, when NPI asked him to rejoin the outdoor work team in 2008, he was back on a welding project within a week. He says, “It was as if I never took a break; I hadn’t forgotten how to weld! I could dive right back in.” Dive in he did, traveling the country and the world over the following years. He welded hundreds of ponds, basins, cultivation floors, breeding tanks, covers and more. The film projects took him to nearby locations and to very exotic locations: Portugal, England, Germany, Mexico, Canada, Angola and many more. He found the projects in the United States and Sweden the most exciting. In Sweden, they lined construction reservoirs for the new to be built Øresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden. A unique project!
Today, Jan’s enthusiasm remains unchanged. While ten years ago, he wouldn’t have accepted not going on an outdoor project, he now appreciates the variety in his work and paves the way for new talent. Jan is a wealth of knowledge and experience, now actively passing it on to younger colleagues!
