Anitox has announced that poultry executive Ian Hamilton will join the business as European Business Development Manager with effect from 1st January 2013.
In his new role Ian will assume overall responsibility for the sales team which manages Anitox’s business in Germany, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium and Italy, together with Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, France, Austria, Switzerland and The Baltic States.
Ian has exceptional international business management experience, most recently within The Aviagen Group, a global market leader in poultry genetics, where he held a number of senior management positions during his 15 years with the company. Most recently, Ian was Managing Director of Aviagen Turkeys Ltd with responsibility for the company’s European turkey breeding operations and led the integration of Nicholas Turkeys and British United Turkeys into the Aviagen Turkey business.
Before joining Aviagen in 1998, Ian was Herbicide Business Director for FMC Europe NV in Brussels and prior to that UK Commercial Manager for DowElanco Ltd, having started his career with Chemical Spraying Company Ltd in Perth.
Commenting on his new role, Ian states:
“It is with very conflicting emotions that after 15 years with Ross Breeders and Aviagen I have decided to leave this great company. However, I am keen to take on new challenges and delighted to be joining Anitox, which is an exciting, growing company with the potential to become a major global player in a strategically-important sector. Its position in the market combined with the drive, energy and professionalism of the Anitox team made the opportunity to work with them a very attractive proposition. I look forward to taking up my new role and working with the company’s customers.”
Ian will report to Roger Mann, Anitox’s Regional Director for Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia Pacific, who adds:
“I am delighted to welcome Ian to Anitox, which is a global leader in pathogen elimination, mould control, milling efficiency and fermenting productivity programs for the primary meat, egg and fish production sectors, together with the feed milling and biofuel industries. His enormous experience in sales and marketing, business development and successfully launching new products will be a great asset as Anitox moves into the next step of its growth and development.”
Anitox has more than 35 years experience of innovation in the areas of bacteriological and mould control in finished livestock feeds, together with the raw materials which are used to produce them. It now works closely with many of the world’s Top 25 feed manufacturers and each year more than 36 million tonnes of feed and raw materials are treated with Termin-8®, while many feed manufacturers also use Maxi-Mil® to improve milling efficiency.
