Meet the crew: Levin Van Uytven
Hi! My name is Levin Van Uytven and I have been working for Buroform as a digital printer for more than six years now. In addition, I am an avid cycling fan. Especially on weekends you can always find me riding my bike!

At Buroform, I am responsible for…
“I run the digital printing department. That is, I operate and maintain our digital presses, such as the HP Indigo 7900, Versafire, 3D Varnish, iEcho,…. I am responsible for the entire digital machinery and everything that comes with it.”
I got my job at Buroform through…
“During my training for ‘digital print operator,’ I did an internship at Michiels Printing Company at the time. Not much later, Buroform took over the company and I joined the new story.”

My morning ritual is…
“I bike to work every morning. I wash down that trip with a glass of water and an oatmeal bar. Then I put on Top Radio and the day can really begin.”
What people don’t know about my position is….
“Many people assume that I just put the paper in the machine and operate the buttons, but there’s a lot more to it. It’s a very technical job. Even the maintenance I do completely by myself.”

My proudest moment at Buroform is….
“Buroform has acquired several printing companies in recent years. Over time, all the printing presses of those companies have moved to Mechelen. When I was appointed in charge of the new digital department, I found it quite a recognition. I won’t soon forget that moment.”
What I like most about working at Buroform is….
“Undoubtedly the family atmosphere. The bond with the other colleagues is fantastic. But also the freedom you get as an employee. I can work in a very independent way here, which gives me the feeling that I can do my job completely to my liking.”

If I hadn’t become a digital printer, I would have…
“Perhaps I would have done something in construction. I am technically inclined. Electrician, cabinetmaker, floorer or technical draftsman for CNC machines: they are all jobs that appeal to me. But I am very happy with my choice now. The graphics sector is a very interesting world with lots of opportunities. With Buroform, we also offer a very wide range of products, which also makes my job constantly varied.”
“When I was appointed in charge of the new digital department, I found it quite a recognition. I won’t soon forget that moment.”
On weekends you’ll find me…
“Anyway, on the bike. I’m a member of WTC De Rupelian, a cycling club with which I ride just about every Wednesday. But also on weekends you can often find me on my pedals. I also regularly go running at the clay pits of Niel, a beautiful nature reserve. Apart from the sporting, I like to go for a pint with friends or enjoy a nice breakfast or lunch on the market in Antwerp.”

The best career advice I have ever received….
“‘Steal with your eyes.’ If you keep a close eye on everything, you learn a lot. I also take regular courses and workshops. That’s how you keep learning and developing yourself. It’s the best advice I’ve ever received. Otherwise I wouldn’t be standing here now.”
