Chris Berg has joined Westhoff as the newest member of its global product development and marketing team.

Berg brings to the team 10 years of experience in sales and marketing, particularly in the young plant and annual color markets.

“Creating successful programs for the industry and our consumers is my first priority,” Berg said. “Providing growers and retailers with the profitable opportunities that Westhoff has to offer, by utilizing their award winning genetics and unrooted cutting partnerships around the globe, is a huge benefit for them. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
