CANTON - Montreal businessman André Couture, a 1982 graduate of St. Lawrence University, has been elected to the University's Board of Trustees, for a six-year term beginning July 1. Couture is the chairman of Sanimax, an international company that creates environmentally responsible solutions for the food and agribusiness industries.

Couture's St. Lawrence degree is in economics.

The company Sanimax was formed in a recent merger of the Montreal-based Sanimal and the Wisconsin-based Anamax.

Sanimal, founded by the Couture family in 1939, is currently in its third generation of ownership. Couture has held top leadership positions for more than 20 years, and now, as chairman of Sanimax, is involved in the strategic alignment of the new company and its shareholders.
