When Charles is behind ‘his’ mixing installation, he is in continuous operation and keeps an overview of the mixing of the Protolin® resin and the filling of this resin into handy bags.

In more than 32 years, Charles has seen a lot of developments. Not only variations on the resin products, but also the process itself has been greatly modernized over time. In the early years, oil and high temperatures were used, but nowadays everything is high tech and much more user-friendly.

Since the 1970s, Lovink has been mixing two-component polyurethane resins that provide the mechanical insulation of the low- and medium-voltage joints. During the switch to a new mixing plant in 2015, Charles played an important role, he has been involved in this project from the beginning. Many of his ideas have been adopted and today there is a well-running machine line. The operation has been greatly improved, with the help of a display more than 70% is automatically controlled, quite an improvement.

Charles does not like to only mention his position in this article. He emphasizes that it’s really about the team, “I can’t do anything alone,” says Charles. He relies on his team in management, just as he gets a lot of trust from Lovink Enertech, which is very important to him. Just like job satisfaction. If you let people do the things they are good at, it gives satisfaction and they enjoy it.
