Volac and Wilmar establish joint venture for animal feed fat

 

Volac International Limited and Wilmar International Limited have announced the creation of a joint venture to develop their value-added animal feed fat business around the world.

Called "Volac Wilmar Feed Ingredients", the joint venture combines the nutritional reputation, global brand and sales network of Volac with the operational raw material logistics and scale of Wilmar.

Volac Wilmar Feed Ingredients is expected to become a global leader in animal feed fats, supporting the dairy farming industry with deep nutritional expertise by marketing an expanded "MEGA" range of feed fat products and maximising operational efficiency.

"Volac believes that responsibly sourced feed fats will play a key role in sustainable livestock nutrition in the future and therefore, we are expanding our fats business as part of our company strategy," David Neville, the managing director of Volac Animal Nutrition, said. "The joint venture with Wilmar will supply sustainable and traceable fat nutrition ingredients which will help improve the productivity of livestock production across world markets."

 "Wilmar and Volac both have an aspiration to set the agenda for sustainability," Napoleon Pefianco, the managing director of Wilmar Europe Holdings B.V., commented on the joint venture. "We will use our combined resources to develop sustainable feed ingredients globally, putting the joint venture at the leading edge of ethically sourced feed fat ingredients."
