Rob Maas to Amycel
Rob Maas, still in his function as project manager of Funghi, gave a lecture at the Dutch Information Day in Wageningen on 26 februari 2015.
On the 1th of September 2015 Rob Maas joined the team of Amycel in the Netherlands. During his career, Maas has met with many aspects of the Dutch mushroom industry. He started as accountmanager at compost producer CNC and later on he worked at the CNC department of Quality and Development. Recently Maas worked as project manager at the producers-organization Funghi, where he ini- tiated many projects for the Dutch growers. “I really look forward to being in contact with growers and composters on a daily basis again. To work on improvement together. Respecting the reality of the daily operation, but with the eye on the future. To keep ahead. Amycel is a strong company investing a lot in developing new strains and supplements. This makes the opportunity for growers to achieve better results, and make that extra step”, says Maas.
Rob Maas, together with Henry Breukers, will work on sales and support in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. You can con- tact him by mail:
