Animal nutrition producer, Devenish, says it has bolstered its business operations in Europe with the appointment of Maria Pons as country manager for Spain.

Supported by the wider Devenish team including technical and product specialists, Pons will be responsible for growing the business and managing key accounts in Spain.

She holds a MA in International Animal Nutrition from the University of Zaragoza, and is a specialist in pig, poultry, and ruminant nutrition, with experience in formulating diets for pigs, and in-depth knowledge in the operation of performance farms and data analytics, noted the Northern Ireland based supplier.

Ian Atterbury, MD, Devenish Nutrition International, said: “Spain is the leading pig producer in Europe, making up a quarter of the European herd. It is a key focus area for us, and I am very pleased to welcome Maria to the team. With her experience in both monogastric and ruminant nutrition, she is well placed to support our existing customers and help to grow and strengthen our business in the region.”
