MICHEL KUMA
You never get a second chance for a great first impression, and Michel (56) knows this like no other. Magic Mike commuted between his residence in Kortemark and the plant in Lovenfosse near Liège for some time, but is currently working closer to home at Westvlees. His focus is on compliance with all rules concerning proper hygiene: he bears shared responsibility for ensuring that all employees and visitors have enough hairnets, beard nets, gloves and caps at their disposal, as well as enough soap to wash their hands.
