Looking to the Future
As Tonisity enters its second decade, the company remains steadfast in its mission to redefine animal nutrition and welfare. Managing Director, Mathieu Cortyl, took over as CEO from long-serving founder Arie Halpern in December. Cortyl has over 35 years of experience in the animal health and nutrition industry.
“We are incredibly proud of how far we have come over the past ten years,” said Cortyl. “From a groundbreaking concept to a global leader in animal nutrition, our success is driven by our commitment to innovation, animal welfare, and the dedication of our team and partners worldwide.”
“We want Tonisity to be a top name in animal health and nutrition. We already have gut health solutions for swine, ruminants and pets, but we plan on expanding our innovative technologies into other species in the next ten years. As we look to the future, we remain focused on creating science-driven, high-impact solutions that improve the lives of animals and support the farmers and pet owners who care for them.”
