“The addition of Laurens to the TechMix international team will help us serve customers more efficiently and with another level of expertise. Laurens’s knowledge of the dairy industry and animal physiology will be of tremendous value to dairy farmers across the region”, says David Muysson, TechMix Global COO and International Director.
