The Supervisory Board of Agrifirm will appoint Dick Hordijk as Chairman of its Executive Board on Sept. 20. He will succeed Ton Loman, who will retire in the second half of 2016 after serving as Chairman of the Executive Board of Agrifirm (and its legal predecessors) for more than 19 years. Hordijk will form the Executive Board of the Agrifirm Group together with Chief Financial Officer Jaap Vessies.
Hordijk has ample knowledge and experience in international executive positions in the agri-business sectors (premix and nutrition) that are important to Agrifirm. He held various management positions at large multinationals with ultimate responsibility for commerce, operations, finance, supply chain management and IT. In his last position he was Managing Director of Cargill Premix Nutrition (CPN) EMEA.
The Supervisory Board considers Hordijk an excellent choice to provide a further impulse to Agrifirm’s strategy of maintaining a cooperative setting and further growth internationally.
