A $12.1 million investment in its new Blending Innovation Center is expected to pay off for Trouw Nutrition and its pet food customers for years to come.

The company has set a sustainable goal of achieving 100% deforestation-free supply chain by 2025.

The company has expanded its 8,100-square-foot plant to 32,052 square feet to provide specialized blending technology for pet food applications.

The association named Belstra’s DeMotte, Ind.-based facility as Premix/Ingredient Feed Facility of the Year.

Chloe Poolman has joined the company and will work closely with customers.

The two companies have combined to improve ingredient services to the pet food and feed industries.

The company will add storage and production capabilities to its existing facility in Poland.
