DanBred grows the team in Canada

Aug 20, 2024

DanBred Canada is pleased to announce the hire of Brent Robinson, Technical Sales and Service Representative.

Brent has a long history in the pig industry and particularly the genetic part of the business. Brent’s father started as a small independent breeder based in Ontario in 1967 and became a very well recognized genetic supplier named Vista Villa Genetics. Brent and his family ran this operation as a DanBred multiplier farm up until early this year.

With DanBred’s recent successes and growth in the Canadian market, it was time to expand the team. Brent is clearly the perfect fit for our team, because of his extensive experience and his passion for dealing with customers and providing the needed service and support to help them succeed.

The Canadian and North American markets can look forward to how DanBred will flourish with this valuable addition to our dedicated team.
