Apart from having to deal with multiple languages and cultures, which I love a lot, you get the opportunity to work abroad after a few years at Interfood.

Learn about the global industry, about local habits, and more importantly, learn how to do business the best way in an ever-changing dairy industry.
Why Interfood?
It is the perfect mix between a professional atmosphere and a family environment. I feel very represented by the core values of the company, maybe because it’s still family owned and I truly believe people are the main asset. It has offices all over the globe which makes the environment very diverse and multinational. Interfood is one of the big players in the food industry and has plans to grow even bigger in the near future.
