 The
Bayer CropScience
Board of Management in Monheim, Germany today announced the
appointment of Joerg Ellmanns to the position of Managing
Director at Bayer CropScience in Australia effective from 1
January, 2008.
Mr Ellmanns and his family are making the move to Australia from
Europe where he headed up Business Development, Animal Health at
Bayer HealthCare AG in Leverkusen, Germany and was a member of
the Global Animal Health Management Committee.
"I am excited about the opportunities the Australian business
presents and delighted to be joining such a vibrant team," "The
Animal Health and Bayer CropScience business work closely
together with several common products. I'm looking forward to
extending this connection and my own experience in this area."
Said Mr Ellmanns.
Born in 1964, in Burscheid, Germany, Mr Ellmanns began a
training course at Bayer AG in 1987 where he earned a degree in
business administration with state certification. After
successfully completing this course in 1990, he transferred to
the Veterinary Business Group in Monheim, Germany and was
appointed Business Manager for the Middle East.
Between 1993 and 1995, he completed an overseas assignment as
ectoparasiticides Product Manager for the livestock portfolio of
Bayer’s South African subsidiary. On his return to the Bayer
headquarters, he performed various functions in the product
management section of the Companion Animals Business Unit.
In 2000 Mr Ellmanns transferred to Brussels where he headed the
Animal Health Business Group in the Benelux countries. Upon his
return to Germany, at the end of 2003, he assumed responsibility
for Strategy and Business Development in the Companion Animals
Department and since August 2004 as Head of Business Development
Animal Health and member of the global Management Committee.
"I have had wonderful opportunities at Bayer to work all over
the world. Coming to Australia is a very exciting prospect for
us; we are looking forward to starting our new life in
Melbourne".
