Phytobiotics welcomes new managing director

Phytobiotics Futterzusatzstoffe GmbH has welcomed Kurt Wegleitner as the company's new managing director, who will be responsible for business and product management sectors.

Current managing director and owner of the company Dr. Hermann Roth will henceforth focus on the management of banking, suppliers, finance and IT, production, pre-market risk investments and administration departments.

"We are delighted to have Kurt Wegleitner, a proven expert in animal nutrition and health with a strong international network, on board the Phytobiotics group," Roth said. "In order to underpin our expectations for the company's development, we have invested strategically in our production facilities in recent years, made the product portfolio more attractive for our customers and expanded our global distribution network.

"Our new team member Kurt Wegleitner will now create the best conditions for us to develop our growth opportunities globally and to be close to our customers with our subsidiaries and partners. With Kurt, we feel very well positioned for the future. Kurt simply fits in with the Phyto family."

Wegleitner held various positions in sales, marketing and regional management at Biomin for 10 years before joining the Addcon group in 2008. As managing director, he led business units in Europe and Asia.

"I have known Phytobiotics Futterzusatzstoffe GmbH since its foundation. Over all these years, I have followed and admired (its) development," said Wegleitner. "I see my new task in the Phytobiotics Group and the cooperation with all stakeholders as a great but positive challenge. I look forward to mastering it together with the teams and the owners."
