Orffa's current chief executive officer, Eddy Ketels, will step down at the end of 2023, with Haiko Zuidhoff appointed as his successor, the company announced.

Zuidhoff will start in his new role on October 1.

Ketels has been working with Orffa for 35 years. He became CEO in 2001. Under his leadership, Orffa has developed from being a local player mainly focused on ingredients in Belgium and the Netherlands into a global, innovative value-adding company having presence in key feed-producing countries and offering a balanced portfolio of feed additives, the company said.

Zuidhoff most recently served as president for the Asian region at IMCD's vision. He previously served in various senior leadership roles at Trouw Nutrition and Corbion.

Zuidhoff's knowledge and expertise will contribute to Orffa's strategy and vision to be a value-adding partner to global animal production, the company said.

He will be based at Orffa's headquarter in Breda, the Netherlands.
