Patrick McMullan, Ph.D., has joined specialty chemicals company Hocking International Laboratories as Specialty Product Manager, to lead the company’s Agricultural product development program. With over 20 years of experience in research and product development, Hocking said McMullan brings a unique skill set to help the company continue to expand private-label agricultural product offerings.
Although the company is based in San Marcos, Calif., McMullan joins the team from Iowa, keeping him more closely tied to customers, the industry, and Hocking’s growing Midwestern presence.
“Bringing Patrick on board is a strategic hire for us, elevating our ag portfolio,” said CEO Doug Hocking. “The talent he brings is a tremendous complement to our ongoing R&D program, particularly with specialty adjuvants.”
McMullan has worked with DuPont Pioneer, United Suppliers, and others. He holds a Ph.D. in Weed Science from North Dakota State University and Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Manitoba.
