    🌟 Marel Voices: Meet Joy Dong 🌟 At Marel, we celebrate the unique passions that our team members bring to life both in and outside of the office. Today, we’re excited to introduce Joy Dong, a Sales Engineer based in Beijing, China, who finds balance and energy through jogging. 🏃♀️ Joy began jogging six years ago after the birth of her second child as a way to regain her strength and manage the many roles she holds in life. With the encouragement of her colleagues, she started with 1km, then gradually increased her distance. Today, Joy runs 20 km every week, finding both physical and mental rejuvenation in her routine. Balancing work, family, and her passion, Joy fits jogging into her daily life—whether it’s a morning run or a weekend family jog with her partner. Her advice for those looking to start jogging? “Just go out and begin at your own pace. Focus on how you feel, and you may fall in love with the joy and energy it brings.” #MarelVoices #JoggingJourney #SalesEngineer #WorkLifeBalance #FitnessGoals #Inspiration

    🌟 Marel Voices: Meet Halldór Magnússon 🌟 At Marel, we celebrate the diverse passions of our team members, both at work and beyond. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce Halldór Magnússon, a Service Manager for RFS Inspection and Sorting based in Gardabaer, Iceland, who has a deep love for mountaineering. 🏔️ Halldór’s fascination with nature began in his Boy Scout days and grew into a lifelong passion for climbing. Over the years, he’s embarked on mountaineering expeditions across Europe, North America, and Iceland, often joined by his colleagues at Marel. Ten years ago, he and a group of coworkers crossed Iceland on cross-country skis, sparking many adventures together since then. Currently, Halldór is pursuing a significant goal—climbing Iceland’s 100 highest peaks. He’s scaled 70 so far, with many of the most challenging still ahead. For Halldór, mountaineering is more than a personal challenge; it’s about building deep bonds with fellow climbers and sharing experiences that few others have. His advice for those looking to start a healthier lifestyle? “Mountaineering isn’t just about long, challenging climbs. Begin with small hikes or local walks and see where it leads you.” #MarelVoices #Mountaineering #ServiceManager #PassionForAdventure #EmployeeSpotlight #NatureLovers
