In closing the seminar, Bill Souther, senior vice president of Aviagen Asia, noted the importance of serving customers in Australia and New Zealand with local representation and emphasized the strength and presence of both the regional team of support specialists and the local production of Aviagen products for customers in the region. “We also believe there is considerable value in being able to call someone in a similar time zone and receive an answer or response either the same day or within a 24-hour period,” he said.
