Chase was previously with Institute Rosell (formerly Lallemand Bio-Ingredients, headquartered in Montreal, Canada), where he was the North American Sales Director.

"I believe their products and the technologies they have developed for the extraction of nutritional oils and oil bearing nutraceuticals are a huge untapped resource."
Hill comes to Spectrum from California Redi-Date, where, as Marketing Director, he assisted in merging the business with the newly acquired Dole date processing facility. Hill will be based in Aptos, CA and will be managing sales and marketing for Spectrum's Organic Ingredients Division.
