France: Kaufler management changes hands

Founders of the company, Yvon Corveller and Jean-Claude Champalaune, are to hand over the keys of the organisation after 28 years to two private majority shareholders - Jean-Yves Duault and Marc Banallec.

Duault was hitherto poultry commercial manager at Stork Food Systems and Banallec, technical director at Nijal - an agrofeed equipment company.

The new management team has announced a number of new projects involving the development of a global production line for agrofeed. An export sales increase is targeted, which currently represents 50% of annual turnover. In addition, an increase of Kaufler's patents is aimed at.
