Transport Management Supervisor and Site Scheduler

About ARLANXEO

We are one of the world's largest producers of synthetic rubber. We develop, produce and market high-performance rubbers that are used in a wide range of applications.

You probably use synthetic rubbers in your daily life without even knowing it. During your commute to work, synthetic rubbers are used in the tires of your vehicle or bicycle. When taking a shower, there is a rubber seal in your tap. When opening the refrigerator, the rubber seal ensures the door closes properly and keeps the cool temperature inside. Besides these more traditional applications, our synthetic rubbers are used in green applications such as batteries for electric vehicles, in windmills and in solar panels.

As one of the major players in the rubber industry, ARLANXEO recognizes that we must examine every stage in the life of our rubber products to reduce their environmental footprint. Find out how you can make a difference at ARLANXEO.
