Berg + Schmidt - Animal Nutrition opens subsidiary in Dubai, UAE

Berg + Schmidt - Animal Nutrition has unveiled Berg and Schmidt Middle East Trading LLC, a new subsidiary in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

The move will allow the company to respond to the growing demand for feed additives and offer clients enhanced customer service in Gulf Cooperation Council states (GCC). Group chief executive officer Torsten Wywiol attended the grand opening ceremony this month, underlining the importance of this key business decision.

By opening a warehouse in UAE, Berg + Schmidt will enhance the distribution of the company's specialties such as LipoVital™ functional lipids, LipoAktiv™ rumen protected glucose and amino acids, BergaFat™ fat powders, lecithins, trace minerals and emulsifiers within the Middle East region for poultry, ruminants and aquaculture, the company said.

The Middle East feed market is rapidly expanding, especially for broilers, aquaculture, dairy and beef. Gulf States, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, have an increasing need for livestock feed as well as a huge demand for innovative feed additives that support health and performance of the animals, Berg + Schmidt added.

Torsten Wywiol, CEO of the Stern-Wywiol Gruppe, the parent company of Berg + Schmidt, said: "The feed market in the Middle East is prosperous and we are proud that we can now support the branch with our expertise and an optimised supply chain. Our commitment to continuous research, service and customer orientation are major pillars of our success. Therefore, the opening of a subsidiary in Dubai, which will enhance our offering in the Middle East, is the right move."
