With immediate effect Trevor Aitchison will take over the management of all breeding and distribution activities within the Americas region.

Aitchison has almost 30 years of experience with Hybrid Turkeys, working his way up the ranks through various roles over the years, most recently as general manager of turkey breeding in North America.

TJ Koewler has left the employment of Hendrix Genetics and will be pursuing interests outside of the company.

“We thank TJ for his contributions to Hendrix Genetics and to the animal breeding industry and wish him well in his future endeavors,” the company said.

With Aitchison’s focus on the Americas and Laurent Souti continuing as general manager of EMEA, this provides dedicated leadership to each key region allowing full attention and focus on our customers and delivering quality products to the industry.

“I am confident in our new structure, the strength of our leadership, and continued focus on our customers,” said Dave Libertini, managing director for Turkey Business Unit.
