Semex says that Harry Schuiling and Zoltan Veres will join its newly expanded global business development team as sales managers, effective early 2014.

“We truly believe that people are our most important asset,” says CEO Paul Larmer. “We’re very excited to have these two gentlemen be promoted within our global organization to these new positions.”

Schuiling has served as operational manager at Semex-Holland B.V. since 1997. He has been instrumental in building and establishing this organization as a genetic leader in Holland, Belgium and Denmark, providing strategic marketing and sales programs. The programs resulted in growth, successful partnerships and profitable joint ventures. Prior to joining, he worked for a competing genetic company as a senior manager and was a veteran classifier for the Dutch Herdbook, classifying more than 10,000 cows annually.

Veres has been the managing director of Génbank-Semex Hungary Ltd. since 2002. During his tenure, it has grown to be named the No. 1 Cattle Breeding Company in Hungary on the 2014 Golden List. Recently, Veres oversaw this facility’s expansion that will allow it to accommodate 200 bulls under the company’s gold standard for collection, processing and distribution throughout the world.

Working across territories, both gentlemen will work alongside John McDougall and Gordon Miller, two of the company’s directors of international sales and business development. Schuiling will focus on Asian and European markets, while Veres will work in Central and Eastern European markets. PD
