Aviagen Global Incubation Services team welcomes new member

 

Aviagen^® welcomed Marco Thiessen to its Global Incubation Services team.

 

In his new role, Thiessen will work closely with customers across the United Kingdom and Europe, helping them optimise hatchery and incubation performance to ensure their chicks get the best-possible start to life.

 

The Global Incubation Services team's shared mission is to help producers achieve success by promoting the health and welfare of chicks during their earliest and most critical life stages. It provides:

 

    - Expert support during incubation trials to ensure optimal results;

 

    - Training programmes tailored to the needs of producers;

 

    - Valuable resources through Aviagen's comprehensive hatchery management material;

 

    - Collaboration with universities, research institutes, and the wider poultry community to drive innovation and share insights.

 

Thiessen brings a wealth of global experience and expertise in hatchery operations. During his 6.5 years with Dutch hatchery equipment manufacturer HatchTech, he travelled extensively, providing training and help improving customer results worldwide.

 

Thiessen's academic achievements include a Bachelor's and Master's degree in biosystems engineering from Wageningen University in the Netherlands. His focus on innovation and sustainable technologies equips him to tackle today's challenges while identifying new opportunities in hatchery management.

 

"Marco's deep understanding of hatchery systems, combined with his ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, makes him a valuable addition to our team," said Eddy van Lierde, head of Aviagen's Incubation Services Team. "We're happy to have him on board and look forward to his contributions to our customers and colleagues."
