AquaMaof Aquaculture Technologies, specialist in recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technology has appointed a new director of sales for North America.
Lior Gal brings ten years of experience in global sales and marketing, developing new markets and projects in the US and other parts of the world and will be responsible for pre- and post-sale support for customers and projects in North America.
"North America is a strategic market for us, where interest in our solution has risen significantly,” explained Shai Silbermann, vice president of marketing and sales at AquaMaof. “The interest is derived from the growing local demand for seafood, as well as the US administration’s policy to encourage the local aquaculture industry."
Before AquaMaof, Lior was the international trade manager at Galilee Export, where he worked for five years in local and global sourcing of agricultural products for trading worldwide. He holds a BA in economics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Earlier this year, AquaMaof was commissioned by 8F Asset Management to provide technology to a 20,000MT Atlantic salmon production facility to be constructed on the US east coast. This project, which is in its design stage, is one of nine that AquaMaof has under development around the world, with an expected combined capacity of 61,000MT of Atlantic salmon and other premium species.
