He has tremendous market and customer knowledge and has led many successful businesses over the term of his 30 year career," says Chyc.

A native of England, Trevor found his calling growing up on his familys vegetable farm which led to his degree in Crop Science at Newcastle University. Over the course of his career he has held positions in sales and marketing in his 20 years with Bayer Corporation to include senior vice president of sales and marketing. In addition he was president and chief operating officer for Valent USA and Executive Officer for parent company Sumitomo Chemical.

"I am very pleased to embark on this new venture and am excited about the possibilities. Our vision is to introduce innovation and differentiation of products which meet unique customer needs.
