Director Climate Solutions Poultry – An attractive executive expert position in a leading global agri‑technology group
Would you like to shape the world’s best climate systems for poultry farming and make a measurable impact on animal welfare, productivity, and sustainability at a global scale? Do you thrive as a team builder and a business and market supporter? And are you motivated by operating as a recognized world expert in an international, high‑ambition technology group?
Then this could be the defining role of your career.
The Company
Huali is an important business unit within Famsun Group, focusing exclusively on animal farming systems, including advanced poultry and livestock solutions.
The Famsun Group is a global agri‑technology group with multiple specialized business units. Famsun’s core strength in feed machinery, oil & seed processing, and silo systems provides the nutritional, logistical, and operational backbone upon which Huali delivers fully integrated animal farming and climate solutions. Some of Famsun’s business units are:
Famsun , Feed machinery, oil & seed processing, silo systems
Huali , Animal farming systems (poultry & livestock)
Famscend , Food processing solutions
Huacai , Battery and energy solutions
For more than 50 years, Famsun Group has developed and delivered world‑leading technologies that improve feed efficiency, energy utilization, animal welfare, and global food security. The group employs 3,000+ people, operates globally, and serves customers in 120+ countries, with sustained double‑digit annual growth.
This position is created to strengthen Huali’s global leadership in poultry climate solutions.
The Postion
This is a top‑level expert role, aimed at attracting one of the strongest climate system specialists in the world within poultry farming. This is not a traditional people‑management position, but a global authority role, where influence is driven by expertise, credibility, and technical leadership rather than formal hierarchy. Huali will, however, support you in building your own Europe-based team.
As Director Climate Solution Poultry, you will be the global authority for poultry climate solutions within Huali and Famsun Group. You will define technical direction, lead innovation, and ensure that Huali delivers best in class, biologically optimized, and future proof climate systems for poultry production worldwide.
You will operate across R&D, product development, market support, and strategic customer engagement, working closely with global teams and key customers.
You will join a global, multicultural organization headquartered in Yangzhou, China, with R&D centres located in Kansas City (USA), Aarhus (Denmark), and Düsseldorf (Germany). The Famsun Group operates sales and service offices worldwide.
Your employment will be with the Danish R&D centre, and you will have the flexibility to work remotely, from your home office or a nearby office location. As a result, your place of residence may be anywhere within Europe. You will report to Famsun’s Director of R&D in Europe as well as to the Famsun Group President of R&D in China.
