BIOMIN founder honoured by Kasetsart University
In a dignified ceremony graced by HRH Princess Chulabhorn, 2,450 students of Kasetsart University (Bangkok) received their degrees on January 8, 2015. Erich Erber, the founder of BIOMIN and ERBER GROUP, was the sole recipient of the prestigious PhD hc from 2014.
The university council had decided on June 23, 2014 to award him the degree "Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Nutrition and Food Technology Honoris Causa".
Collaboration between Kasetsart University, BIOMIN and the ERBER GROUP has been going on for many years. As examples, Erich Erber has held talks at the university, and various trials and research work have been jointly conducted by the three parties.
This fact and the overall contribution to the field of Thai agriculture and animal nutrition development led the university council to bestow Erber the honorary degree.
Kasetsart University, the oldest and largest agricultural university in Thailand, is also a talent pool from which BIOMIN Thailand is continuously able to tap.
According to Erber, he feels honoured to have received the recognition and title for his lifelong work on the improvement of animal and human nutrition, and is glad to be now an alumnus of the university.
