Alltech has finished its acquisition of Ridley Inc. The company says the move shows Alltech’s commitment to research and development.
“Alltech is committed to delivering greater performance and value to farms and ranches around the world by providing the industry’s most advanced animal nutrition products and solutions,” said Dr. Pearse Lyons, founder and president of Alltech. “The Ridley acquisition moves this commitment to a new level by expanding the availability of our leading animal nutrition product offerings and emphasizing our dedication to investing in R&D.”
Ridley now operates as a division within Alltech and the current range of Ridley products and solutions will continue to be available through existing distribution channels. In the near future, customers will benefit from an increased variety of nutritional solutions and services, backed by the latest scientific research from Alltech.
“This combination is about our customers, and the enhanced ability we will now have to deliver solutions to them that are built upon the history, strength and scientific innovation of both companies,” continued Dr. Lyons. “We are excited to officially welcome the talented Ridley employees to the Alltech family and look forward to achieving many successes together.”
Alltech now has a presence in 128 countries with 77 manufacturing facilities and approximately 4,200 employees globally.
