“This facility will improve the flexibility of our offerings to the Chinese animal nutrition market,” said Aart Mateboer, business unit director, DuPont Animal Nutrition. “We look forward to providing our key accounts a more customized offering as well as a larger range of packaging sizes to better meet our customers' needs. It provides us enhanced capabilities to launch many new products out of our global [research and development] pipeline to support the evolving needs of our customers in China."

Katariina Rasinmaki, global manufacturing and supply chain leader, added “We are pleased to add our Animal Nutrition products to the portfolio we support at our Wuxi facility and offer world-class quality with very local customization to our China customers."

“We continue to enhance our capability to deliver solutions from our best-in-class product portfolio to our Asia Pacific customers," said Vik Prabhu, regional director, health and biosciences, Asia Pacific. "We recently expanded our capability at our Shanghai Animal Nutrition Applications & Technical Service Laboratory, which is an excellent complement to this new operation. Due to African swine fever and COVID-19, our customers have adapted quickly to changing conditions, and this facility is designed to provide flexible local response to our most valued customers”.

DuPont Animal Nutrition provides nutritional health solutions with a comprehensive portfolio of feed enzymes, betaine, phytogenics and probiotics.
