Easton, Maryland-based Papillon Agricultural Co. is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Founded by Tom Haschen in 1983, the company provides propriety products and customer service for the dairy feed industry in the U.S. and in more than a dozen other countries. It has manufacturing capabilities in New York and Wisconsin as well as seven strategically located warehouses.

“Our current products, in addition to the new technologies we are developing, provide the basis for our optimism for gaining additional market share as well as for geographic expansion,” says newly appointed company President David Briggs.

Notable accomplishments in the company’s history include, among others, having introduced the Dairyman's Edge Pro, one of the first products to promote rumen performance; introduced the first balanced, high-protein bypass supplement with more than 75 percent crude protein; pioneered work in amino acid nutrition; and marketed the first portable, user-friendly analytical kit for mycotoxins.

The company has a highly motivated team in place to take advantage of its business momentum, says marketing manager Alex Haschen. PD
