Nutreco has announced through a publication on its LinkedIn profile that is set to acquire AECI Animal Health in South Africa. This aligns with the company's purpose to 'Feed the Future.' and commitment to the African continent.
This strategy, expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, will enhance the existing operations of the global leader in animal nutrition and aquafeed in South Africa.
Additionally, the existing distribution network and manufacturing site of AECI AH in Burgersdorp will be integrated with Trouw Nutrition South Africa, providing better reach into key regions.
"We look forward to the completion of this acquisition, and are excited about the opportunities this integration will unlock," the post reads.
In late April, Nutreco opened a new fish and poultry feed facility in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, through its operating company Skretting and Trouw Nutrition.
AECI Animal Health manufactures animal premixes to customer formulations and requirements, adhering to the highest international quality standards. It is in the top four suppliers, by volume, in South Africa's markets.
The company aims to blend nutritional supplements comprising vitamins, minerals, and amino acids for our customers. Also, it imports and supplies feed-grade commodities and represents international market leaders in animal health additives, nutraceuticals, and specialty veterinary products.
It distributes nationwide from Burgersdorp and Johannesburg with an export partner managing distribution into the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa. Its second location houses a dedicated antibiotic-free plant that removes the potential for cross-contamination of lonophores which can be detrimental to companion animals.
