Protix has appointed Barry Greyling as Corporate Treasurer ahead of a planned major scale-up of its business. Barry will be joining recent hires Jeroen van der Staay, Chief Growth Officer and Aneeke van de Geijin, Chief Commercial Officer, in the company's expansion of its team.
Protix currently supplies insect ingredients on an industrial scale to a number of industries including petfood, livestock feed, aqua feed, food and fertiliser ingredients. The insect of choice, black soldier fly, is highly beneficial for its ability to turn low-grade food waste into valuable nutrients such as proteins and fats. These high-quality ingredients are used by a number of brands and industrial manufacturers in a drive to bring more healthy and sustainable feed and food products.
With current pressure on the availability of raw materials and the need to produce more sustainably, Protix's sourcing and in-house production helps to alleviate this. The company is now investing in its mission to bring the future closer.
Barry brings over 15 years of experience in corporate finance, banking and treasury with one at the big four professional services firm. He is a member of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments, with a diploma in Management Accounting from the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants.
Jeroen van der Staay is a business leader with experience as a strategy consultant, investment manager, corporate business developer, marketing director and commercial director. Anneke van de Geijin is a business executive with past roles as Global Marketing Director, Global Sales Director and Commercial Director of large divisions.
"As the only supplier of commercial products in a substantial volume, Protix has forged strong relationships with feed and food manufacturers," says Kees Aarts, Founder and CEO of Protix. "Since the opening of our large-scale production facility in 2019 we have been working closely with our customers to understand their needs and are now at the exciting stage of further ramping up our production to meet increasing demand."
"We are now in a unique position to take a big leap forward and look forward to the contributions of Barry, Jeroen and Anneke to the next milestones on our exciting journey to bring the food system back into balance with nature," he adds.
They join Protix's passionate team of experts that includes Bas Jürgens, Chief Operations Officer, Stijn Harms, Director Projects & Engineering, and Eric Schmitt, R&D Director. Together the team will be looking to build the insect sector globally with new plants set to open within the next years.
