“This is a great personal and professional opportunity for Michael and a clear milestone in his international career,” said John Penno, Synlait’s CEO and Managing Director.

Since joining in 2013, Mr Stein has made a significant contribution in the quality and regulatory area. This capability has underpinned Synlait’s business growth, particularly with nutritional and specialty products.

“Michael has put a strong team in place and played a key role in establishing our onsite quality testing laboratory, which is well on track to full accreditation,” said Mr Penno.

Mr Stein said he was proud of his achievements at Synlait and is looking forward to his new role in Singapore.

“This hasn’t been an easy decision but it’s the right one for me at this point in my career. I am honoured to have played a part in Synlait’s growth and success during my tenure, and thank the entire Synlait team for their support,” said Mr Stein.
