It is with deep sadness that the Lallemand team announced the sudden death of Mr. Bruno Rochet, on November 5th, 2009.

Bruno Rochet was Business Development Director for Lallemand Animal Nutrition and was responsible for the Asian market. The combination of his unique human qualities and business vision largely contributed to the development and success of Lallemand. He was also President of the European Probiotics Association (EPA), funded in 1999 at his insistence. Passionate and a visionary, Bruno Rochet was a convincing spokesman for probiotics in animal nutrition and he contributed greatly to their recognition. Bruno was married with four children. We will all miss Bruno and wish to pay him a tribute.
