DELACON Russia Office Opening

by Markus Dedl

We are proud to announce that on May 15, 2010 DELACON Phytogenic Feed Additives opened its newest subsidiary company in Moscow, Russia.

DELACON has worked intensively over the last three years to build the foundations for our Russian business", say DELACON CEOs Helmut and Markus Dedl. „The Russian market is very different from other markets, and we have adapted our entry strategy to be able to work there successfully".

The market potential in Russia is huge and the future looks bright. DELACON CEE Division Director Mirek Simerda knows: „Russia is a sleeping agricultural giant. This enormous country still imports a big part of its meat consumption, and the Russian government plans to be self-sufficient in meat production within a few years".

The DELACON office is conveniently located within the center of Moscow. At the opening ceremony, which took place on May 15 at the premises, a number of guests from the industry have joined, including representatives of distributors, feed mill and premix manufacturers as well as senior faculty members of Russian Universities.

DELACON Russia Manager Emil Marecek is eager to start the activities: „The solutions of DELACON have come at the right time to the Russian market. We experience a lot of changes, and local producers are looking for innovative technologies to improve their performance and ensure food and feed safety".

DELACON is one of the leading manufacturers of Phytogenic Feed Additives for farm animals. The family-owned company is based in Austria and currently operates own subsidiary companies in Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, United States, China and Russia and has established Regional Offices in France and Malaysia which oversee a distributors network spread out over 30 countries worldwide.
