Are you an enthusiastic professional with a laboratory background and a smooth talk? Would you like to work during your children's school hours and do you like to visit laboratories, build relationships and also discover new customers? Then you might be exactly who we are looking for!
Wilten Instruments Benelux has been the reliable supplier of high-quality instruments and consumables for the laboratory and research market since 1952.
