Kemin Industries opened new offices and a distribution center in Mexico based in Guadalajara, Jalisco. The new facilities will support Kemin Animal Nutrition and Health, Kemin Pet Food & Rendering Technologies, and Kemin Food Technologies.

For nearly 30 years, Kemin has been growing its business within Mexico and Central America and this new location will offer improved service and solutions to better serve its customers. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Tuesday, May 17, which included Kemin's worldwide executive team and members of the Nelson family who founded Kemin in 1961, Libby Nelson and Kimberly Nelson.

“Our new, enhanced facilities greatly support our long-term business goals and will uniquely position Kemin within Mexico and Central America,” said Alejandro Romero, a newly hired country manager for Kemin Mexico who leads the sales team. “These new facilities are just one of many ways Kemin is investing in this market to continue to provide the highest-quality services and personalized solutions to our customers.”

The new state-of-the-art, 36,000-square-foot building has 5,800 square feet of office space that can accommodate up to 40 team members and includes conference rooms that will allow Kemin customers, stakeholders, and partners to collaborate at the facility. The new product distribution warehouse can hold more than 1,000 metric tonnes of product and features a dedicated Kemin Application Solutions (KAS) area to build, pilot, and demonstrate customer-tailored systems for optimal product application.
