Muscatine Foods forms Kent Nutrition Group
Muscatine Foods Corporation of Muscatine, Iowa, US has created the Kent Nutrition Group, formed by its livestock and pet nutrition subsidiaries.
The feed division within the Kent Nutrition Group will focus on products and services for commercial producers, horse owners, and "lifestyle" farmers.
Previously, the company's subsidiaries Blue Seal Feeds Inc. of Londonderry, New Hampshire and Kent Feeds Inc. of Muscatine as well as Evergreen Mills of Ada, Oklahoma, a division of Kent Feeds Inc., functioned independently in their respective geographic regions.
By realigning the subsidiaries based on a customer-focused structure, Muscatine Foods expects to expand its capabilities to develop, manufacture and market new products across the US and abroad.
The feed division, led by former Kent Feeds president Rich Dwyer, also will be headquartered in Muscatine, with a regional sales and service office in Londonderry.
