In this episode, Kemin production team members Guillermo Garcia and Jeff Grenier talk about Kemin's plans for a $28M expansion at its global headquarters, how they are recruiting globally to meet demands in their Des Moines headquarters and globally to become Kemin's largest pet food manufacturing plant in South America and its acquisition of GLF Ingredienti Alimentari to strengthen its position in the EMEA meat industry. As they open their new manufacturing facility in Verona, Missouri, to produce its Proteus® line of clean-label functional proteins, they become the first facility to do so.
Jeff and Guillermo talk about global recruiting, production, and dig deep on how this new warehouse facility will bring a whole new level of efficiency and coordination for the global giant. With its roots in Des Moines, Kemin's story is a treasure trove of best practices in culture, automation, biotechnology and agriscience. Take a listen! You'll be glad you did.
