Scoular, which has recently accomplished a new fishmeal facility, an expansion in the APAC region, and a new sustainability program, announced the appointments of four new vice presidents.

Focused on solutions for renewable energy producers, farmers, grain processors, animal feed and aquafeed manufacturers, the company’s new vice presidents are leaders in these fields.
