Control Solutions founder and president retires after more than 33 years with the company

Mark Boyd, the founder and president of Control Solutions Inc. (CSI), a producer of specialty chemical solutions and part of the ADAMA group, has retired after more than 33 years with the company.

“CSI has always been about innovation and trusted relationships,” said Boyd. “I’m proud of what we’ve built and confident the company will continue to thrive.”

Boyd’s entrepreneurial drive, industry insight and commitment to customer success has created a lasting legacy at CSI, according to the company, and it’s one that will continue to shape the company’s future. Though stepping away from day-to-day responsibilities, Boyd will continue to support the business as an advisor during the transition.

To strengthen alignment with global leadership, CSI and Alligare will align to form the newly created ADAMA Professional Solutions Commercial Unit (APS CU).

Trey Kendrick will serve as president and CEO of Control Solutions and head of APS CU, reporting directly to Eric Dereudre, ADAMA chief commercial officer. Trey brings extensive experience from his long career with CSI and successful leadership as president and CEO of Alligare over the past four years. His direction will ensure continued alignment and growth across both businesses.

Austin Tinsley, who has more than 16 years of experience at ADAMA, has been named president and CEO of Alligare, and will report to Kendrick.

Control Solutions welcomes customers, distributors and partners to join in congratulating Boyd on his remarkable legacy and welcoming Kendrick and Tinsley into their new roles. Together, with the combined strength of Control Solutions and Alligare, the APS CU is planning to deliver the innovation, expertise and partnership customers can count on.
