New Technical Service Manager Brings Wealth of Knowledge to Asia

BANGKOK, THAILAND (September 30, 2025) – With over 10 years at NOVUS and a lifetime of experience in the agriculture industry, David Sanchez Torres is bringing his expertise to Asia as the new senior regional technical services manager in Asia; based at the regional office in Bangkok, Thailand.

In this role, he works with the technical and commercial teams as they help customers meet their goals through solutions that optimize overall performance, support gut and structural health, enhance reproductive capability, and provide advice on strategic nutrition programs.

Until recently, Torres coordinated the diverse technical services team throughout North and South America as NOVUS’s senior regional technical services manager for the Americas.
