For me, the challenge lies in the fact that I now responsible for the Finance department.

Moreover, I am the contact person for third parties regarding staff related issues, tax office, salaries, and more.

I would like to help Microfan improve the overall environment for farmers and their animals. The ultimate goal is to achieve better results. In my previous work as a feed expert I have visited many poultry and pig houses. In my experience feed is important, but climate control has an even larger impact on the well-being of animals.
Microfan got my attention because I know that Microfan is the global leader in climate innovations. I am eager to meet new partners and introduce them to Microfan’s latest innovations.
Martin Sackers
Hi! My name is Martin Sackers and I’m an embedded engineer at Microfan.
When I graduated from my Bachelor’s in Mechatronics engineering at Fontys University Venlo about 6 years ago I started looking for a company where I could put my broad knowledge of engineering to good use. I had always been interested in farming and agriculture and that is where I found Microfan.
When I joined Microfan they were just moving into the age of IOT, touchscreens and embedded computers. I was tasked with selecting a new embedded platform and configuring it to connect our climate controls to the cloud. Launching the Argos HMI about one year later was very exciting and I still enjoy seeing people interact with the product that I have helped develop.
In the next years I developed embedded software for numerous controls such as feeding and climate controls, as well as various industrial OEM controls. Recently I also got the chance to revisit my knowledge of electronics and develop a PCB, for a product that will soon be released!
Joining Microfan has allowed me to develop my skills as an engineer. I have also visited some interesting places and countries that I would normally never have visited, meeting some of the most interesting people.
Pascal Schallmaier
My name is Pascal Schallmaier. I am the Operations Manager at Microfan.
I started working for Microfan almost 19 years ago. I responded to the vacancy ‘Service Engineer’. After 2 days I got invited for a job interview. Next day I travelled to Horst, made a good impression, passed the test and got hired. After some weeks I realized this job did not give me the energy that I needed. So I had to discuss this with Mr. Jan van Issum, founder of the company.
After having that said, silence followed… Days later, Jan invited me to join him on a customer visit. While driving in the car, we did not talk, no words, nothing. On our way back Mr. Van Issum stopped the car at a bookstore and asked me to buy an AutoCAD book. From that moment I had a new job: Technical Work Planner. In the years that followed I worked myself up to the role of Operations Manager. I am proud with this position in which I have a broad role and tons of responsibilities. More important is that I am glad that I have a good team of competent people around me. They give me the space to spend time on improvements and new innovations.
I’m happy that I applied for a vacancy at Microfan at the time. It brought me to where I am now. I am far from retired, full of energy and looking forward to the bright future of Microfan.
