“Once our discussions started,” says Dr. Conrad Welp, Managing Director of BHZP, “it became clear that we share a very similar vision and strategy, and we realized that this alliance is a natural fit for our joint activities in Germany and the Netherlands. Combining the efforts of our R&D teams will make us more efficient and ultimately more successful in Germany and the Netherlands. We also see an excellent opportunity to market our outstanding DB 77 boars worldwide via the Hypor organization.”
Dave Libertini, General Manager of Hypor adds, “This alliance further strengthens our joint position in swine genetics in the Netherlands and Germany. Our products, people and market position greatly complement each other and together we will be better positioned to provide added value for our clients and our people.”
