Cargill Animal Nutrition and Health business in the U.S. reinforces
Cargill has acquired two feed mills from Compana Pet Brands to help meet the needs of ag retail and large ranching and farming operations in western and central regions of the U.S. The newly acquired Kansas City mill is located close to Cargill’s Kansas City feed facility and enables the company to continue to be a key supplier in the area and grow with customers in the region.
“These two feed mills are a perfect fit for our Cargill Animal Nutrition and Health business in the U.S. to better position us for long-term growth of our full portfolio and serve a range of customers, from the larger farmer/rancher to the local retailer who sells horse treats and pet food,” said Mariano Berdegue, Senior Vice President for Cargill’s Animal Nutrition & Health Americas business.
With the Denver mill acquisition, Cargill welcomes more than 35 employees. The mill has dedicated packing lines, which allows for growth with ag retail customers who serve the backyard/hobby farmer and pet owner segments. Cargill will also be able to meet the needs of large farming and ranching operations in the region with the expanded capacity and some additional investments in the operation. The goal is to make this facility a modernized, flagship feed mill.
With the addition of the two facilities, Cargill is better positioned to expand its feed production and distribution capabilities in the U.S. This transaction has been completed. Cargill has strengthened its ability to offer world-class products, services, and solutions in animal nutrition, performance, and health for dairy, livestock, and lifestyle/pet feed segments
