Form-fill-seal machine manufacturers gear up as pet food processors innovate to meet growing demand.

The company’s insect technology solutions division will team up with Alfa Laval to offer advanced modular insect plant solutions.

The partnership will increase Kemin’s enzyme production capabilities.

The plant was previous put up for sale, then saved by a co-packing contract, in the last half of 2018.

Summit Partners and Goldman Sachs will also provide a significant amount of capital investment to support the distributor’s future growth.

The plant is one of only 55 workplaces in Arkansas to have earned this award from the state’s Department of Labor.

The packaging company will expand in Ohio, Minnesota, Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, Kentucky and Virginia and plans 15 total plants to be in operation by the end of 2019.

Jones Naturals’ rapid growth has encouraged the company to increase its manufacturing capabilities.
