Barcelona, Spain (Vocus) January 20, 2010
As part of its ongoing global expansion, animal health and nutrition company, Alltech, has announced the opening of its first office in Spain.
The new office, which is based in Barcelona, forms part of the company’s overall growth plans and reinforces its commitment to the Spanish animal feed and food production industries. The Barcelona office will provide sales and localized service support to the growing number of partners and customers in the country.
Commenting on the initiative, Marc Larousse, vice president of Alltech Europe, said, “The decision to open an Alltech office in Spain is a further demonstration of our commitment to providing localized support to our customers. In addition, it is the intent of the company to build their production and laboratory facility which will provide services not just for the Iberian areas but also the Mediterranean areas. Our newest Alltech office will enable our team to quickly identify issues encountered by Spanish producers and work with them to provide solutions to those issues. This office will also allow us to build stronger relationships within the country as well as facilitating growth throughout.”
Alltech has evolved in the 30 years since its formation and has succeeded in establishing itself as an industry leader in quality assurance, technical advice and innovation. Alltech’s presence has grown with offices and distributors in 120 countries and more than 2,000 employees around the world. The evolution of Alltech globally is echoed in the growth already experienced by the Spanish market. For over twenty years, the Spanish distributor of Alltech products, Probasa, has supported Alltech products and values in the Spanish market.
“We look forward to continuing to further expand within the Spanish market through the opening of Alltech Spain. Employees of Probasa will join Alltech’s growing European team in a move which we hope will allow us to meet customer needs whilst driving the market forward,” said Jomi Bernard, General Manager, Alltech Spain.
