Kemin Industries has opened a new, high-tech plant in North America to help pet food manufacturers better serve the stable and growing global pet food market, says the nutritional ingredients manufacturer. Located in Sarcoxie, Missouri, the new plant enables complete in-house production and a focus on product quality, custom blending and providing a fully-integrated palatant process from blending to packaging.
On June 14, the new facility completed an inspection for Australian, Canadian and European Union standards for animal by-products and expects to receive written certification from USDA during the first part of July, said Kemin Industries. The plant currently has seven employees and is expected to double that number as production increases, according to the company.
