Our peoplePaweł Michalski, head of the quality assurance and production technology department
Paweł describes his professional career as being one with two main parts. The first was the time ‘before De Heus’ when he was a laboratory technician and a recipe specialist in the feed industry. Paweł: “That was a time of intense learning, searching for my own place and opportunities for personal development, which were not so obvious in the previous company. The turning point in my career came when I was contacted by De Heus and subsequently started working as Junior Product Manager in 2018. Thanks to this work, I obtained access to the commercial market and was able to have a real impact on the shape and specificity of products, but also on changes in the whole company. In April 2021, I was appointed head of the quality assurance and production technology department.”

SustainabilityHealthy fish need clean water
All around the world, the mismanagement of plastic waste is a big issue. As the waste carries over to nearby rivers and leaks into our oceans, the waters in which many of De Heus’ customers grow their fish are increasingly polluted. One day a year, De Heus Myanmar aqua feed factory workers take it to the streets of Yangon to raise awareness about the global plastic problem. In charge of coordinating the troops is Rachel Twhe, project manager at De Heus Myanmar.

SustainabilityPioneering aquaculture research on the banks of the Mekong river
One of the biggest challenges in aquafeed production today is understanding the precise nutritional requirements for different species of farmed fish and shrimp. That is why the global research centre on the banks of the Mekong river in Vietnam is gathering important data that will shed light on the efficient conversion of feed into animal protein. By optimising the impact of aquafeed, farmers around the world can raise healthier fish and shrimp with less feed costs.
