Tyson Foods
Inc.
and
Kemin
Industries Inc.
announced the opening of a new manufacturing operation
that is producing petfood flavor enhancers known as palatants
under the Palasurance brand, according to a
press release
by Kemin.
The manufacturing initiative is the result of an alliance Tyson
and Kemin formed in 2008 to develop, manufacture, market and
sell liquid and dry palatants to petfood companies. The goal,
according to the companies, is to provide cost-competitive,
high quality petfood palatants.
The new palatant operation is housed at Tyson's animal protein
facility in Scranton, Arkansas, USA. Production began in March
and will be a 24-hour operation, according to the release.
"The Scranton facility is located near several of our largest
poultry processing plants," said Jeff Webster, group vice
president and general manager of Tyson's Renewable Products
division. "This gives us excellent access to the fresh raw
materials needed to manufacture high-performing palatants for
some of North America's largest petfood makers."
