    March 24, 2008

    Companies across the industry are announcing new personnel appointments taking over key positions.

    Fine Americas, Inc., a manufacturer of plant growth regulators, has appointed Dudley Dabbs as southeast regional sales manager. Dabbs, who is based in Apex. N.C., will be working closely with Fine’s distributors to strengthen Fine’s position in the ornamental and agricultural markets.

    Fides North America announced the addition of MaryJane Harrell as the new Western United States sales support representative for the company. She will work to build close relationships with brokers and work closely with growers to position the Fides genetics brand into the mass markets.

    Selecta also announced that Michael Cade has joined the company as area sales manager. Angela Storm will join forces with Cade to support sales activities in North America. Storm, so far responsible for the whole market, will take over the Western and Southern states. Cade will focus on the Northeastern and Midwestern parts of the country, as well as Ontario, Canada.
