Lienert Australia to acquire Provimi Australia

Animal nutrition company, Lienert Australia, said it would purchase the premix, supplement and trading business of the Netherlands-based animal nutrition company, Provimi Australia.

Nick Lienert, managing director of Lienert Australia, said the deal will be effective from July 1, subject to settlement.

Lienert said the move would strengthen the company through a broader customer base.

ProviCo, the leading milk replacer company in Australia, is not affected by this impending sale, he pointed out.

The acquisition of Provimi's premix, supplement and trading business includes its head office operations at Macclesfield, South Australia, and its manufacturing plant at Forbes, New South Wales.

Lienert Australia is a family-owned Australian company established in 1970 with its head office at Roseworthy, South Australia. It manufactures and supplies compound feed premixes and supplements, feed ingredients and nutritional advice.

Provimi is engaged in activities including premix, concentrates, feed and specialties for nearly all animal species.
