Control Solutions Inc. is celebrating the career of founder and president Mark Boyd, who retired on September 1 after more than 33 years of leadership.
“CSI has always been about innovation and trusted relationships,” Boyd said. “I’m proud of what we’ve built and confident the company will continue to thrive.”
Boyd’s entrepreneurial drive, industry insight and commitment to customer success has created a lasting legacy at CSI — which focuses on specialty chemical solutions and is part of the ADAMA group — one that will continue to shape the company’s future. Though stepping away from day-to-day responsibilities, Boyd will continue to support the business as an advisor during the transition.
To strengthen alignment with global leadership, CSI and Alligare will align to form the newly created ADAMA Professional Solutions Commercial Unit (APS CU).
Trey Kendrick will serve as president and CEO of Control Solutions, and head of APS CU, reporting directly to ADAMA chief commercial officer Eric Dereudre. Kendrick brings extensive experience from his career with CSI and leadership as president and CEO of Alligare over the last four years.
Austin Tinsley is the new president and CEO of Alligare and will report to Kendrick. He has more than 16 years of experience at ADAMA, including the last four years as sales director of Alligare.
