Under the leadership of CEO Robert Walker, the brand has been positioned alongside Alltech around the globe to build relationships and open new markets.
“Together with our Alltech colleagues, we continue to look for avenues to better deliver enhanced nutritional solutions to farmers through science and technology,” Mr Walker said.
“We are investigating ways in which to expand production and develop new, more advanced Keenan units.”
Since joining Alltech there’s been a renewed energy in design, innovation and technology to ensure the brand is meeting ag sector requirements, the company said.
They are expected to soon launch new products to improve their speed, capacity and ability to handle all forage sources.
“Between Alltech’s primacy in science and Keenan’s manufacturing strength and technological know-how, we have a winning combination for delivering greater farm efficiency and profitability directly to our farming customers,” Mr Walker said.
In some countries, Keenan offers ‘InTouch’, a live review and support service with advice from nutritionists on hand, to ensure animals meet their daily performance potential.
More than 3000 customers around the world are connected to InTouch hubs in Ireland, France, Scandinavia and New Zealand and plans are in place to create more hubs in South Africa, China and Canada.
Keenan commercial director Matt Higgins, said the company was “witnessing strong sales growth and prospects from many of the Alltech offices around the world.
“The synergies are hugely impressive,” he said.
