Erik Hendriks

Head of Product Development Consumables

"Gday, I am Erik Hendriks, 64 years of age, married and 3 adult children. My background is food technology and many years of experience in food processing hygiene, bio security and hygiene in milk processing at the farm. Working with chemicals runs like a red thread through my life. Today I am head of R&D Consumables at Lely. My whole life I have been dealing with all kind of chemicals. I have seen the results of careless behavior, handling chemicals without knowledge and misunderstandings. Safety in handling (dangerous) chemicals requires constant repetition to which I hope to contribute."

Hicham Ben Yessef

Chemical Safety & Compliance Professional

"Hello, my name is Hicham Ben Yessef, 38 years old, married and have 2 children. I am a chemist with 16 years experience and have been working in the field of petrochemicals, detergents, fragrances, aviation maintenance, and hazardous waste. I am currently working at Lely as a Chemical Safety & Compliance Professional. Throughout my working life, I have noticed that there are many misconceptions about harmful chemicals in products. My biggest concern are people who are not sufficiently capable to understand the risks of harmful chemicals. This has nothing to do with the level of education!"
