Roland and Bram are looking forward to meeting you! As GMP+ International’s new Management Team, Roland van der Post and Bram Schuit look forward to engage with stakeholders about the future of feed safety. Now that Roland and Bram have settled into their new roles, they have set their sights on their most important tasks: making sure the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme continues to thrive and answer the needs of the worldwide feed safety community. Valuing the knowledge and experience of GMP+ International’s stakeholders is essential to realising that goal. That is why Roland and Bram will put great emphasis on engaging community members, listening to their input and taking up challenges together. Roland assumed his role as GMP+ International’s new Managing Director on August 1st, while Bram started as Commercial Director a month later. Investing in relationships Roland, who previously held the function of Operations Director, says they are looking forward to getting to know the worldwide feed safety community even better. “We want to invest in our partners and stakeholders, because, ultimately, they make our scheme what it is today.
“We also want to help our GMP+ certified companies to benefit from our scheme to the fullest extent, not only from a feed safety & responsibility perspective, but also from a business perspective.” 4

Frontrunner in feed safety Bram, who has a background in testing, inspection and certification, believes GMP+ International is well positioned to achieve that ambition.
“With over nearly 19,000 certified companies, and stakeholders from all over the world, GMP+ International is the frontrunner in feed safety. This position gives us an important platform and voice, which we will use to increase collaboration, to create feed safety and feed responsibility and create new business opportunities for all.” Roland and Bram are convinced that engagement – with the Global Feed Safety Summit next spring as a key event – will boost collaboration, and in the end, feed safety itself.
“Speeding up our development to get us where we want to be: Feed Safety Worldwide.”
Bram Schuit & Roland van der Post Commercial Director & Managing Director

It is our ambition to safeguard feed safety, share knowledge and work together to ensure proper implementation of our scheme, we are happy to report that more and more organisations across the globe are joining GMP+ International as official partners.
