Guy Odri, chief executive officer and Herrick Pinguet, secretary general, were relieved of their duties following Douxs decision to give control of the companys Brazilian operations to JBS. Odri has held the CEO post at Doux since 2003.
JBS began leasing poultry plants from Doux in early May with the aim of increasing JBSs poultry production capacity. Doux appears to be pulling out of Brazil; the company shuttered two poultry processing plants in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande Do Sul.
