The collaboration took off this November in Bangkok when the two partners got together for a technical and marketing training session, before organizing a seminar with their local clients. Twenty-two sales managers from South East Asia gathered in Bangkok to be put up to speed with the technical aspects, latest research, trials data and applications of Lallemand ‘field led, science supported’ probiotic and yeast-based solutions for profitable and sustainable animal production. In addition, they received marketing and communication information and tools to help the promotion of these products on the Asian market.
Olivier Clech, Vice President of Human Health and Animal Nutrition at Lallemand commented about the alliance: “Our two companies actually started to collaborate quite a few years back, in different ingredients markets, and have built mutual trust step by step.
