EUGENE MULLER

Eugene Muller, a family man and man of faith at heart, is a chemical engineer by training and completed his MBA – he has operated as a Managing Director within various companies in the agricultural sector since 2010. He began his career as a metallurgist with Assmang Chrome and joined Omnia Fertiliser as a Senior Process Engineer in 2002, as the chemical processing plants it operated allowed him to make better use of his training.

“At Omnia I have had a rich career filled with many stimulating challenges and opportunities, fulfilled several operational roles and was fortunate enough to be part of a total business re-engineering project before heading up their main manufacturing site in Sasolburg as Factory Manager,” he says.

In 2012, Muller joined Kynoch (an innovative plant nutrition supplier), where he was soon appointed Managing Director. Towards the end of 2017 he joined Zaad as Managing Director, where he was responsible for its South African seed businesses K2 and Nuvance and the investment champion for Hygrotech.

“I am privileged to have been asked as part of the merger to jointly lead Limagrain Zaad South Africa as the Managing Director,” he comments.
