subsidiary in
germany
why is
vikinggenetics
interested in
germany
?
germany
has the largest
dairy
cow population in europe with over four million
dairy
cows.
germany
has a strong tradition for supporting local breeding cooperatives like those we experience in our three home mar- kets: sweden, denmark and finland. however, in every market, some farm- ers are looking at other ways to im- prove their
dairy
herd. we see that our solid combination of strong health and high production is a good fit for this group of german
dairy
farmers. what does a farmer in
germany
gain from choosing vgde? a german farmer can expect to find a breeding company that focuses on helping them make the right deci- sion concerning choice of genetics. if they choose us, they will have a company that looks to build long- term business relationships with sat- isfied customers. how is this new subsidiary going to operate? how many people will work at vgde? the team has been established starting with our sales manager in deutschland, udo carstensen. in close cooperation with and the sup- port of our export manager jan an- dresen, carstensen is tasked with managing the company and build- ing a team of highly motivated salespeople. right now, we expect to have about eight people in three years? time, but this can change de- pending on the opportunities we find in
germany
. how can we guarantee that subsidiary companies will live up to the vg philosophy from the nordic countries? the vg philosophy is a global phi- losophy. from a very early stage, nordic farmers have been brave enough to sufficiently respect health traits and have built up an impres- sive number of phenotypic registra- tions to support both genomic and traditional reliable breeding values. this courage is paying off today, where it is clear, that a healthy and strong
dairy
cow is a high producing cow with low maintenance costs. ?we build our business on long-term relationships and happy customers? our ceo rex a. clausager explains more about
