The chief operating officer of CentralStar Cooperative has been promoted as the company's new CEO. Phillip Dieter of Sun Prairie will lead the day to day operations of the co-op, which was established in 2019 as a result of the merger between NorthStar Cooperative Inc. and East Central/Select Sires.
Dieter has nearly 20 years of experience in the agriculture industry, including six years as a director of development for EC/SS. He began his career with the cooperative in 2002, working as an artificial-insemination specialist.
"I am truly honored to serve as CEO. I have a tremendous amount of pride and passion for the cooperative, our team members and the dairy and beef producers we work with," Dieter said. "CentralStar is a premier service cooperative that delivers industry-leading tools targeting success for dairy and beef producers."
CentralStar's administration and warehouse facilities are in Lansing, Michigan, and Waupun, with laboratories in Grand Ledge, Michigan, and Kaukauna.
