"By strengthening our footprint in the region, we will be well-positioned to minimize product and delivery costs to customers," explained Jack Cwach, vice president, Alliance Nutrition & Milling International.

"In addition to having easier access to more and higher-quality grain and ingredients for feed, we now have the ability to offer customers a broader portfolio of options to suit their needs."
 
ANI currently owns and operates a commercial feed manufacturing facility in Hatillo, Puerto Rico, and a premix operation in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico, that produce feed products and mineral and vitamin mixes for customers and commercial dealers in the animal feed, dairy and swine industries.
 
The purchase of NutriMix will provide ANI with a barge and ship unloading facility at the Port of San Juan, in addition to a commercial feed mill, and vertical and flat storage located on the waterfront in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.

The Granossa assets – which include the leased land, building, bins and equipment located at the Luchetti Industrial Park in Bayamon, Puerto Rico – are approximately seven miles from the NutriMix port facility.
 
"Acquiring these two facilities will allow us to minimize our ingredient costs and fully leverage our global grain merchandising network," said Mark Kolkhorst, ADM vice president and president, ADM Alliance Nutrition and Milling.
