The rubber flooring manufacturer belonging to Interface Inc., nora systems, is expanding its management team: Rob Heeres, Vice President Operations at nora, will now take on additional responsibilities and support Ton van Keken, Vice President Supply Chain EAAA (Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia), who has been managing director of nora systems since early 2019. Heeres has been responsible for production, planning, and logistics in Weinheim since the end of 2018. The new role will facilitate short communication channels at the executive level to support daily operations and further increase efficiency at the site. Heeres has ambitious plans for the coming years: "Currently, several ambitious projects are underway aimed at increasingly aligning manufacturing with sustainability and further reducing our CO2 footprint." One of these measures is the reduction of production waste. "Furthermore, we are working to advance the use of recycled raw materials to take another step towards circular economy," the new managing director added.
