Kemin Nutrisurance | Belgium

Pet food and rendering industries

Kemin has been supplying ingredients for pet food since the 1960s. By the mid-1980s, pet food choices were becoming increasingly sophisticated and sales were increasing. This shift required the company to reposition its approach to match that of its customers.

As a result, Kemin Nutrisurance, the Pet Food and Rendering Technologies division of Kemin Industries, was officially established as a worldwide business unit in 2000. They have evolved to offer solutions throughout every step of the pet food supply chain for manufacturers, renderers and ingredient suppliers to address consumer needs in four key product categories: antioxidants, palatants, proteins and food safety.

Their vision is to offer a complete solutions portfolio, which links product and application expertise, to assist customers in creating safe and nutritious food for companion animals worldwide.

Ingredients and manufacturing excellence

Kemin understands how raw materials will ultimately impact finished products. All the ingredient suppliers are evaluated on the ability to provide consistent, high-quality products. In addition, the Raw Material Risk Assessment Program is designed to identify product safety risks in all raw materials.

Quality means a promise to deliver safe and efficacious ingredients and products. Kemin fulfills this promise by incorporating quality into every aspect of business – raw material and suppliers, innovative product development, good manufacturing procedures – extending until the final product release.
