Adisseo continues to increase its footprint in aquaculture and announced a number of appointments in its Business Unit Aquaculture. The company is fully committed to growing in the dynamic aqua markets across the world and therefore consistently hires top professionals that bring value to their customers.

“Feed additives are playing an increasingly important role in aquaculture feed formulations and profitability of fish and shrimp farmers. Health promotors in functional feeds have proven to be an essential component of prevention strategies to reduce the impact of diseases and parasites. Digestive and metabolic enhancers improve the efficiency of carnivorous species with new types of formulations based on less marine proteins and fats and maximize feed cost efficiency in omnivorous species. Palatability solutions offer support to compensate feed attractiveness and protein quality for feed formulations based on novel ingredients. This wide range of additives requires a species-specific optimization for different aquaculture species and regions. This increases the need for specialized customer support at the local and global level,” said Peter Coutteau, business unit director Aquaculture for Adisseo.

Guiping Zhao will join Adisseo as regional technical manager aquaculture for China. Zhao has extensive experience in the Chinese aquafeed industry during ten years at Alpha Feed, one of the leading domestic aquafeed mills in China, where she has been in different positions related to QC management, feed formulation, feed evaluation and technical services. In December 2018, Guiping took up a new job challenge as technical service manager Aquaculture in a large feed additive company in China. Guiping has ample experience in the feed formulation for a variety of Chinese aquatic species, feed ingredients, feed processing, quality control and certification, applied research and developing feeds for special customer needs.

Huynh van Lanh was appointed as aquaculture sales manager – Vietnam. Lanh has over 15 years of technical sales experience in different sectors of the Vietnamese aquaculture industry including feed, farm care products and feed mill additives. He has been in sales manager and key account manager positions for leading regional and international companies in Vietnam. Lanh has a broad understanding of the market structure and route-to-market in Vietnamese aquaculture.
