Iches, 60, has spent over 30 years with Sodiaal and its forerunners. A former farmer, in 1977, Iches became director of co-op Tempe Lait, one of the seven co-ops that formed Sodiaal.
In 2007, when Sodiaal was created, Iche became president of the Auvergne region in the south-west of France. For the last two years, he has been vice president of the co-operative.
Sodiaal is looking to acquire fellow French dairy co-op Entremont Alliance. Earlier this month, the two companies signed a “draft agreement” to merge.
