Kemin Industries is expanding its campus and breaking ground on a new building for its Kemin Applications Solutions division, a global engineering team that provides application expertise and support of Kemin’s liquid products for customers at their operations.  

The new 11,700-square-foot building is a $4.5 million capital investment that will bring state-of-the-art equipment and resources to the team so the company can continue to provide superior services to its customers around the world. The new facility is set to open in early 2022 and is located just east of Kemin’s global headquarters building. It will double the current space available onsite for the Kemin Applications Solutions group and will provide a central showcase area for products developed by the team. It will also enhance customer interaction when they visit the Kemin global headquarters.

Kemin Application Solutions specializes in providing Kemin’s worldwide customers with services and technologies related to the proper application of its liquid animal nutrition and health products, which is particularly relevant in the feed industry. 

The Kemin global headquarters project was completed in 2017 with its final addition totaling $30 million. The entire headquarter expansion was a five-year, $125.5 million overall investment in the Des Moines facilities and community. In July 2020, Kemin broke ground for a new quality control laboratory (QC lab) to be built onsite at its worldwide headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa.
