Hypor Inc., a global leader in swine genetics, has named Graydon Bell as its General Manager of Hypor USA, effective May 1 2016. Graydon returns to Hypor after previously holding the position of Sales and Marketing Manager from 2009 to 2012. During that time, he played an instrumental role in developing the Hypor American market. He will be based out of North Dakota.

Graydon comes to this position with extensive experience in the swine industry. He is part of the fifth generation of his family in the livestock business, and his knowledge of pig production relating to husbandry, genetics, nutrition, environment, and herd health enabled him to successfully manage a 60,000 sow farrow to finish operation out of Wahpeton North Dakota.

In addition to his swine management skills, Graydon brings to the role a background in business with experience in finance, sales, and marketing from his past position at Nedap as Sales and Marketing Manager.

“Returning to Hypor with its strengthened breeding program and quality products was the right choice for me. I’m eager to get started working with the team to bring solutions to our clients,” said Bell.

“We are excited to bring Graydon back to the Hypor team,” said Luis Prieto, General Manager of the Americas.

“With his strong background in pig production, understanding of the American market, and existing knowledge of Hypor’s various products and business needs, we feel confident that Graydon will provide excellent leadership and added strength for our team in the USA.”
