I take a lot of pride in making sure Lallemand customers are satisfied by selecting the products from our warehouse, gathering, labeling, and packaging the shipments for the logistics team to get it to their intended destination.  While to some it would be routine, the role is interesting because there is a lot of variety to the work each day especially during the very busy silage season in North America.
