What was your first experience with Roxell?

Which Roxell products will you be focusing on?

“In these difficult market conditions, I want to focus on the innovation of the products. Roxell is known for its innovative product portfolio with recognized, existing products, such as the iconic MiniMax feeder pan.

But also the complete 360° portfolio will be given my full attention, since Roxell offers a complete range for every type of poultry and pig farmer.”

Which regions offer the most opportunities in your opinion?

“I believe in the opportunities in France. In Europe, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and the UK have the most growth potential for us to make a difference with our innovative 360° portfolio. See it as leverage to create value for the end customers with our distributors.”
