From South Africa to NZ: Afimilk Success Story
Twenty years ago, South African dairy farm manager Louis Vandenberg was sent to a farm in Waikato to provide training on Afimilk technology.
The company says with an extensive background in sales and business development and a proven leadership track record, Miller will help drive growth and innovation in the region.
Miller brings over 15 years of international and national experience in sales and management, having previously held key leadership roles at Johnston Controls, Datacom, and Gallagher Security.
In his new position, Miller will manage all operations for Afimilk in New Zealand and Australia, focusing on delivering advanced technology and solutions that enable dairy farmers to optimise productivity and sustainability. He will work closely with their accredited dealer network, Headlands, Ace Electrical and Read Industrial, ensuring that Afimilk continues to meet the evolving needs of the dairy industry.
“The cow monitoring collar market has seen significant growth in recent years,” says Miller.
“I am looking forward to leading the Afimilk teams in New Zealand and Australia during this exciting time for the industry.
“Our solution gives farmers the data to make informed decisions, making the farmer more effective daily basis and paves the way for a more sustainable dairying future.”
Afimilk vice president global business, Jecka Glasman says they are thrilled to welcome Miller to the team.
“With his expertise and passion for the sector, we are confident that he will lead our operations in New Zealand and Australia to new heights, further solidifying our commitment to supporting farmers with innovative solutions.”
Justin will be on-site supporting the Afimilk sales and technical team at the South Island Dairy Event (SIDE) in Timaru in early April.
