BouMatic, a global dairy equipment manufacturer, launched BouMatic University, a new training organization with a global mission to use the industry’s latest technology and time-tested BouMatic milking principles for the education of its dealers, employees and key industry influencers.
“BouMatic University starts with a simple principle that is the foundation of everything BouMatic produces – The milking machine should remove all of the available milk from the cow, gently, quickly and completely,” said Jerry Slattery, global director of training. “But that’s just the beginning. While we have always had training programs, BouMatic University is the global organization that makes certain our educational programs are the latest, most relevant and cover all of the programs our Dealers and Sales Teams need today,” he added.
“The Global Training Team is taking shape with Carolina Pinzon, training coordinator, and Nadine Bouleau, manager, training & exhibitions, coordinating and organizing training programs world wide,” Slattery said. “We are also pleased to introduce two incredibly talented field training managers; Johnny Bayart, field training manager/Europe and Mark Walker, field training manager/North America.”
BouMatic recently invested in updated facilities at its U.S. and European headquarters. The Madison, Wisconsin campus has a new, specialized training room, a new refrigeration lab and a testing and display area. BouMatic’s European headquarters in Remicourt, Belgium has received extensive updates to its training and lab facilities.
Training sessions offered through BouMatic University are diverse with webinars, self-training modules and classroom sessions conducted regionally, in Madison, Wisconsin, and Remicourt, Belgium.
“Our classes are underway and the participation and enthusiasm has been extremely positive,” added Slattery. “Just since January 178 Dealer Technicians from 91 Dealerships and 42 BouMatic personnel have attended at least one of our courses.” PD
