Recordando a Brian O'Dwyer
In 1994 Brian came to Gowan to build a business in Mexico that would provide growth and opportunity for the company and his employees. Walking the fields with farmers, Brian and his Tribe were men with muddy boots. They identified crop protection solutions that would create productivity and prosperity for their customers.
They nurtured the reputation of his young enterprise by leaving distinctive signs in customers' fields displaying the Calidad Gowan (Gowan Quality) logo to promote its on-target technology. This logo became synonymous with the quality products and remarkable service his flourishing business provided to Mexican farmers.
After eighteen years and twentyfold growth, Brian retired from a respected business based on customer trust and loyalty. Brian's humanity and professionalism molded Gowan Mexicana and continues to serve as inspiration for the Gowan Group. Gowan guides us today.
Erected by Calidad Gowan.
