Focus on expanding agricultural operations
As CEO, Hood will lead the company's growth strategy, with a particular focus on increasing hay and fodder supply from Victoria and South Australia into Queensland and New South Wales.
The appointment is also expected to strengthen customer relationships across Wingara AG's fodder and protein businesses as the company expands its agricultural supply network.
Supporting the next phase of growth
Wingara AG operates across agricultural product procurement, supply-chain coordination and third-party logistics, serving customers throughout Australia's agricultural sector.
The company has been focused on strengthening its domestic trading operations as part of its broader strategy to drive sustainable growth and improve supply-chain efficiency.
