Trouw Nutrition, a Nutreco company, has opened a pet-dedicated premix plant in Griñón, Spain. The existing facility was fully transformed and equipped for pet nutrition, expanding the company's companion animal production footprint in Europe.
According to the company, the Griñón plant is FSSC 22000 certified and operates with full traceability across its supply chain. It runs as a zero-CO₂-emissions facility powered entirely by renewable electricity and holds Sedex membership to support responsible sourcing.
