Oakdale's QualiTru Sampling Systems Announces New CEO

OAKDALE, MN —Oakdale-based QualiTru Sampling Systems, which produces sampling technologies to help ensure the dairy industry and liquid food industries produce safe products, has announced the hiring of a new CEO.

Ian G. Davis took over April 1, bringing with him more than 25 years of senior-level experience in the food, travel and logistics industries in both the U.S and Europe. Most recently, Davis was the vice president of operations for a privately held industrial services firm in Indiana.

"Ian's extensive experience in leading growth companies and business development will be critical as QualiTru continues transforming, positioning itself for additional growth and market expansion," said Robin Schroeder, QualiTru Sampling Systems' board chair.

A British Columbia, Canada native, Davis holds an economics degree from Simson Fraser University in Vancouver, and he began his career working in the dairy industry in his native province.

"I am excited to be joining the team at QualiTru," Davis said. "For almost 40 years, the company has been fulfilling its mission of helping food and dairy companies assure the quality and safety of their products. With its great business model, proprietary technologies and talented team of professionals, I believe the company is uniquely positioned to further extend its leadership and capitalize on the rapidly evolving food and dairy production environment.

"I look forward to working with the team as we navigate the company's expansion through these exciting times."
