EW Nutrition GmbH, a global provider of animal gut health, feed quality and digestibility solutions, has appointed Benedict Standen as global business development manager aqua. He holds a master’s degree in marine biology and a Ph.D. in feed additives in aquaculture, and brings more than 10 years of experience in the industry.
Standen’s appointment is part of EW Nutrition’s growth strategy for its aquaculture additives portfolio. After the acquisition of Green Innovation in early 2025, EW Nutrition is pursuing an aggressive expansion and targets global launches of Oxilem Blue and other innovative nutritional solutions to control pathogens, to prevent oxidation and improve production performance in commercial fish and shrimp.
"Benedict is the perfect profile and temperament for this position. He is open, inquisitive, and unbelievably knowledgeable, with both scientific and applied field expertise in a domain that is a growth target for EW Nutrition," said Jan Vanbrabant, CEO of EW Nutrition.
Standen confirmed he starts in September with an open agenda and a lot of curiosity.
"I came to this position well aware of EW Nutrition’s growth in the last years,” he said. “I want to bring my expertise into play and help expand our reach in aqua, where we can do much more to support our partners. I like the ambition and work ethic of this company and can’t wait to meet more of the global and regional teams."
Standen’s appointment reflects EW Nutrition's continued investment in commercial and business development capabilities as the company pursues organic growth and an active expansion agenda.
