“My experience at Kalsec has been truly enriching. The depth of expertise and knowledge across the organization, combined with continuous learning opportunities, have made a lasting impact on my professional growth. What stands out most to me is the supportive and welcoming environment, the emphasis on work-life balance, and the consistent recognition for hard work. Kalsec is a place where I’ve not only grown in my role, but also as an individual.”

 

Vriddi, Quality Control

“Joining Kalsec as the Finishing Operations Manager has been an incredible experience—I'm surrounded by supportive, driven people who truly embody a family and teamwork-oriented culture. I’ve been given the autonomy to make impactful decisions and the freedom to bring new ideas to the table, which are not only welcomed, but encouraged. It’s inspiring to be part of a progressive organization that’s committed to innovation and continuous growth for the next 100 years.”

Van, Finishing

“I absolutely love working for Kalsec! The company values work-life balance, allowing me to thrive professionally and personally. Leadership’s flexibility and understanding create an environment where I can excel without feeling overwhelmed. As a remote team member, it can be challenging to build connection, but I feel supported in my development and have amazing opportunities for growth. It’s a rewarding experience to be part of a company that invests in its people.”

Juliana, Customer Experience

“What I like about Kalsec Southwest is that every day I find the opportunity to learn something new, and I always try to share it with my team. There is always someone I can learn from and there is always someone I can help. There are always surprises that turn into challenges.”

Francelia, Scientist

“I have worked at Kalsec for over 20 years, and I always tell people that working here is like having a second family. We may disagree at times with each other, but we’re also there for one another: giving someone a hug when they need it or sitting and having a chat over a drink to talk about work or life. Friendships have been formed, and you will find staff socialise outside of work. It’s a testament of the environment we’ve built.”

Colin, Production

“Working at Kalsec has been profoundly fulfilling. From day one, I was impressed by the commitment to innovation and sustainability. The team is talented and passionate, and the collaborative atmosphere fosters creativity. Kalsec stands out for natural ingredient solutions that meet the highest quality standards and support the growing demand for clean label. I’ve had the opportunity to set up a new finishing center in Singapore, producing natural flavors, colors, and advanced shelf-life solutions.”

Jensen, Manufacturing
