With the aim of expanding its distribution network in the animal feed sector in Asia, Leiber, a brewers’ yeast specialist, has signed a new partnership with Raj Nakra Associates based in India. With this new partnership, the company wants to offer its animal-specific beer yeast specialty products in the feed markets of India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

Raj Nakra Associates already has long-standing relationships with Leiber’s Health business unit.  Following the expansion as an animal feed distributor, Raj Nakra Associates now also offers feed industry customers the ability to advise on the production of compound feed and to assist with regulatory and technical matters. The first joint trade fair appearance at the Asian Pacific Aquaculture 2019 in India met great interest among potential customers.

Nikolaus Jungbluth, Business Unit Director of Leiber animal nutrition, said that "we also look forward to now working together with our partner Raj Nakra Associates in the animal feed sector, on the distribution of our product range and on making use of the potential that these markets offer."

For more than 60 years, Leiber GmbH has been one of the leading manufacturers of yeast speciality products "Made in Germany". Leiber has more than 200 dedicated employees in Germany and other production sites in Poland and Russia, where it produces beer yeast products and yeast extracts of the highest quality.
