Following the successful integration of Cerexagri and UPI operations, United Phosphorus CEO Peter Bromley announced his retirement from the company and transitioned his North America administrative duties to Jeffrey Allison. To aid in the transition, Bromley will remain involved with UPI and parent company UPL in a senior advisory role for the next twelve months.
For nearly 30 years, Bromley has been active in the global crop protection industry. He spent the past 27 years with Cerexagri, including the past 13 as its President and CEO, first of Cerexagri and for the past 18 months, of the combined Cerexagri/UPI. Bromley is the second most senior member of CropLife America’s board and active in the U.S. crop protection industry. He will enjoy retirement with his wife Sue in their new home in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
“Peter’s contributions to our business and our industry are well documented,” says Jeffrey Allison, UPI’s new Administrative Head for North America. “We thank him for his leadership and commitment to providing our customers choice, flexibility and cost efficacy.”
In filling Bromley’s role, UPI has looked to Allison, a veteran of UPI with more than 20 years of experience in U.S. crop protection. Under Allison’s leadership, UPI will continue its commitment to leading the forefront of post-patent crop protection technologies.
