Dutch animal nutrition giant Nutreco, and parent of aquaculture feed company Skretting, has appointed Fulco van Lede as its new CEO following the departure of Rob Koremans who has held the role for three years.

Koremans announced in July that he would be retiring from his role this summer, and would be replaced by Fulco van Lede on Aug.15.

Van Lede was appointed as a member of the executive board of directors of Nutreco's parent -- Dutch-based trading company SHV -- in July 2018.
