APC announces that Jerry Frankl has assumed the role of president and CEO of the company, succeeding Louis Russell, who announced his retirement in 2020.
Russell will continue working in an advisory role for the organization.
Frankl’s 28-year career with the company includes leading the global sales, marketing, customer service, export and logistics teams. Frankl has been the president of the APC Ingredients division for the past 10 years.
During his tenure in these roles, APC dramatically expanded its worldwide production, sales and distribution networks, becoming the leading global supplier of spray-dried plasma and red cells used primarily in the swine, ruminant, aquaculture, poultry and companion animal industries.
“Jerry’s extensive knowledge of the business combined with his energy and leadership skills will enable APC to further drive productivity in the industries we serve through the manufacture and distribution of highly researched, safe and effective ingredients that help animals thrive through improved health and immunity," says John Wheeler, president of APC’s parent company, The Lauridsen Group.
Frankl notes it's a privilege to be leading an incredibly talented and dedicated team of people at APC
“Our team will continue to build on APC’s culture and legacy of adding value for our customers, suppliers and stakeholders around the world," he says.
APC's mission is to help animals and plants thrive through the use of innovative functional proteins that positively impact performance.
