Keen to develop close links between new product development and implementation in the commercial environment Jan will work closely with his clients and encourage their cooperation with new concepts.
“My new role with Provimi gives me the opportunity to keep in close contact with many people including producers, nutritionists and compound feed manufacturers,” says Van Haperen. “This gives me an insight into all aspects of animal husbandry and feed production, which I see as key to offering the best support to clients.”
