Cobb-Vantress & Hendrix Genetics form alliance
Cobb-Vantress and Hendrix Genetics are forming an
alliance to strengthen Cobb's position in the broiler breeding industry and
Hendrix Genetics' positions in egglayer, turkey and swine genetics, and enable
the two companies to explore further joint venture
opportunities.
The parties have started to investigate a possible
Joint Venture in which part or all activities may be combined in the future.
President of Cobb-Vantress, Jerry Moye: “Combining the efforts of our
R&D teams will make us more efficient. The combination between Cobb-Vantress
and Hybro creates an even stronger global leader in broiler breeding with a
further complementary portfolio of product, clients, markets and production
structuresâ€
President of Hendrix Genetics, Thijs Hendrix: “Together we
create a new platform with a new horizon in animal breeding and life
sciencesâ€.
The Hybro organisation, genetic lines and facilities will
become a part of Cobb, effective immediately. While Hybro will not operate as a
stand alone division, Hybro products will be offered as part of Cobb's
portfolio.
Current Cobb and Hybro customers can expect business to
continue as usual. Cobb and Hybro's R&D teams will work together to develop
a plan that will give the company its best potential for genetic progress and
product development.
