ADM Alliance Nutrition Opens Feed Premix Plant in Tianjin, China
ADM Alliance Nutrition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Archer
Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM), has opened a new feed premix plant
in Tianjin, China, to serve the growing Chinese market for animal
nutrition products. With an annual production capacity of 30,000 metric
tons, the facility provides feed premixes to animal producers in the
provinces of Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shaanix and Anhui, and the
municipalities of Tianjin and Beijing.
'ADM Alliance Nutrition is dedicated to providing safe, high-quality
products to our customers. With the addition of our new facility in
Tianjin, we are now able to provide feed premixes for even more animal
nutrition customers in China,? said Terry Myers, president, ADM Alliance
Nutrition. 'The animal nutrition and health industry in China continues
to grow rapidly, and it′s our privilege to participate in this market
through our innovative products and technologies.?
This is ADM Alliance Nutrition′s second premix plant in China. The
company has operated a premix plant in Dalian, China, since 1995. ADM
Alliance Nutrition′s Tianjin and Dalian facilities offer broiler premix,
layer premix, swine premix, ruminant premix, swine concentrates,
specialty ingredients and nutritional consulting services.
Animal feed premix is comprised of dietary components, such as vitamins,
minerals and enzymes. Animal feed premixes complement dietary energy and
protein content of feeds to maximize the health and productivity of
animals.
The opening of the Tianjin premix plant is the latest step by ADM to
grow its business in China. In 2010, ADM made a $100 million cornerstone
investment in the Agricultural Bank of China (ABC), and in early 2011,
ADM opened an office in Beijing. Today, ADM employs more than 150 people
in China and is a significant supplier of corn, oilseeds and food and
feed ingredients.
