Production Updates
De Kas
This week we officially launched the first design workshop around our new warehouse "De Kas"!!!! De Kas is the Dutch word for a greenhouse. We chose this name because you can find a lot of greenhouses in the Bleiswijk area, which makes it a great representative. As many of you already know, we have been working hard with many different teams over the past few months to get everything administratively in place. Over the next two years we will work hard with many of you to create a warehouse that meets all expectations so that we can welcome all our colleagues in September 2025. This week Lisa visited the headquarters in Berlin to discuss the next steps together with the international stakeholders. The following is on the schedule for the upcoming weeks:
Week 36: Kick-off meeting with developers and international stakeholders in Bleiswijk.
Week 39: Kick-off Production stakeholders
During her visit she met some familiar faces in the entrance hall, see below, do you recognize them?
Folding crates testing
We are currently testing folding crates for the MAO. Currently, we are using non-folding crates of type CBL-15. The current CBL crates take up 65 pallet spaces which is 52 m2 of storage space. The crates we are now testing with are foldable and the same number of crates take up only 13 pallet spaces which amounts to 10.4 m2 of storage space in the DC.
If the test succeeds we will save 80% in m2 of storage space. And as you all know the m2 at our DC are scarce after the closure of our Klappolder DC.

Trainings
MBTI
As part of team building, HelloFresh organized a follow-up to Q2's MBTI workshop for the office team.
MBTI is designed to discover your way of working and learning and categorize your personality into a four-letter scale.
In this workshop, we got to know each other better. We learned about each other's pitfalls and found out in which areas our personalities potentially clash.
Our Facilities Coördinator Edwin came out in ESFP: "One of my developing point is creating overview. It's super interesting to find out which of my colleagues is good at time management"
Don't forget to also have a look at the Learning & Development website!
