The expansion increases the existing 8,100-square-foot Pilot Plant to a 32,052-square-foot modern new facility.
By repurposing this building sustainably, Trouw Nutrition is able to limit the energy and materials required for the new plant.
“This is a very exciting day for the Trouw Nutrition Companion Animal Division,” said Terri Boeser, General Manager of Trouw Nutrition’s U.S. Companion Animal Division. “We are proud to begin construction of our new Blending Innovation Center. The Blending Innovation Center will not only bring new opportunities to the pet food industry, but also to the Highland area, where we will expand our footprint and bring new jobs to the area.”
“This new facility reflects Trouw’s continued investment in our U.S. Companion Animal Division and the broader pet food industry,” said Dan Baker, Managing Director of Trouw Nutrition’s U.S. operations. “This addition will enable us to grow and expand our unique ingredient offerings for our customers to further support pet health and welfare for years to come.”
Construction is scheduled to finish by the end of 2021.
