FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 17th, 2025 The Taurus Group of Companies is pleased to announce key leadership transitions and strategic team growth across its network, reflecting the organization’s continued investment in innovation, agronomic excellence, and long-term expansion.
As part of this evolution, Claude Sander, one of the managing partners of the Taurus Group, has moved from his previous role at Taurus Agricultural Marketing into a dedicated position as President of Active AgriScience. This shift allows the group to place full-time leadership within one of its core innovation companies and reinforces its commitment to advancing scientifically driven crop nutrition solutions across Canada and internationally.
“This full‑time focus enables us to expand international presence, deepen product innovation, and strengthen support for our partners and retail network,” says Claude Sander.
Active AgriScience and Taurus Agricultural Marketing operate as sister companies within the Taurus Group, a collaborative organization driven by a shared mission to bring agronomic science, efficiency, and profitability to the farm. While Active AgriScience focuses on the development and manufacturing of seed primers, foliar nutrients, and nitrogen stabilizers, Taurus Agricultural Marketing plays a vital role in delivering those solutions through its retail, distribution, and agronomic support channels across Canada and into new markets abroad.
The product portfolio at Active AgriScience, including Active STABILIZER™ PLUS, Active PRIME™, and Active BUILD™, has demonstrated widespread success across Canada and Australia, helping growers improve nitrogen efficiency, strengthen early plant development, and drive consistent yield potential under a wide range of conditions.
To support the momentum across these companies, the Taurus Group is also announcing the addition of new team members and internal leadership advancement:
- Eric Prescesky has joined Taurus Agricultural Marketing as Regional Agronomic Account Manager for Northern Saskatchewan, bringing deep grower-facing agronomic expertise and regional insight.
- Trisha Nysten has been welcomed as Administrative Assistant, supporting internal operations, logistics, and marketing execution across the group.
- Aqueena Clennett has moved from Marketing Manager to Chief Strategy Officer, a role focused on driving strategic alignment, long-range planning, and brand leadership across all Taurus Group entities.
“This announcement is more than leadership change. It’s about alignment, capacity, and continuity,” says Craig Davidson, President of the Taurus Group of Companies. “By elevating key people and continuing to build strong teams, we’re setting the stage for sustainable growth, not just for this season, but for many seasons to come.”
From Canada to Australia, and from nitrogen efficiency to in-crop performance, the Taurus Group of Companies continues to build forward, connecting scientific advancement with real-world agronomic results through its unified structure and dedicated team.
