In expanding U.S. outreach, Hamlet Protein has announced the appointment of two sales managers effective November 1st. Chelcee Hindman will be based in Iowa and will work with producers of hogs, calves, and poultry with a concentration on midwest states. Chelcee was raised on a crop and livestock farm in Iowa and earned her Baccalaureate degree from Iowa State University.
Lamar Ridder, based in Florida, will be involved in poultry production in southern and southeastern states. He earned a Baccalaureate degree from the University of Alabama.
Both Lamar and Chelcee have extensive experience in the livestock health industry having worked with major suppliers of pharmaceuticals, feed additives and biologics. Their appointments complement the activities of Dr. Kyle Brown, appointed as Poultry Nutritionist for North and Central America after recently completing his Ph.D at Texas A&M.
In commenting on the appointments, Grady Fain, Regional Director for North and Central America for Hamlet Protein noted, “We believe that high quality feed for young animals is the key to optimizing productivity. We also believe that North America will maintain a dominant role in the global animal protein market. We are well positioned to further grow in swine and poultry.”
Despite the uncertain economic outlook for 2021 due to COVID, Hamlet Protein continues to invest in personnel, research and production capacity as the Company is confident of the underlying market strength of the livestock industry and the value of superior nutrition of young animals and birds.
