Alltech further expands in Asia-Pacific
 

Press release
 

 

Alltech has furthered its global development with a continuous expansion programme to support growing consumer demand in the Asia-Pacific.

 

As the Philippines has become a market of increasing importance for Alltech's strategic expansion in the region, the company has opened a new regional office in the country's Davao region.

 

Officially opened in June, this office will allow Alltech to access key regions such as Visayas and Mindanao in order to meet growing customer demands and provide local customer service.

 

Alltech is also increasing its presence in the Australian market with the opening of another office in Brisbane. The office will give Alltech a local base from which to provide technical support and services to the poultry, pig, dairy and beef markets in the Queensland and northern New South Wales regions.

 

Located in south-east Queensland, just north of Brisbane international airport, the 100-square metre office will serve as a base for three representatives currently servicing this market.

 

Steve Bourne, director of Asia-Pacific, Alltech, explained, "Asia-Pacific is becoming a region of increasing importance for Alltech since the demand for natural solutions is continuously increasing as a result of the growing cost for raw materials."

 

Orla McAleer has been appointed as Marketing Manager for the Asia-Pacific. She has worked in the company for over four years as the European and Asian communications manager.

 

Orla will be responsible for overseeing the marketing and branding of Alltech and its brands throughout the Asia-Pacific. Prior to joining Alltech, she worked for a publishing company and graduated with a BBS degree from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. She will be based out of Alltech's European Bioscience Centre in Ireland.

 

Dr Yadunandan has been appointed as Marketing Development Manager for South Asia, where he will be responsible for marketing and business development of the region.

 

Prior to joining Alltech, Dr Yadunandan worked as a veterinary medicine consultant. He received his degree in veterinary medicine from the University of Agricultural Sciences in Bangalore, India.

 

In 2006, he completed an MBA from Stockholm University School of Business in Sweden and ESC-Pau in France. Dr Yadunandan will be based at Alltech's South Asia headquarters in Bangalore, India.

 

Pornpun Yutharaksanukul has joined Alltech as Business Development Manager - Aquaculture for Alltech Thailand.
