Alltech has acquired the Colorado-based animal nutrition company Ranch-Way Feeds through its subsidiary Hubbard Feeds, a division of Ridley USA, Inc. Terms of the purchase were not disclosed.
Ranch-Way Feeds employs more than 50 people, producing over 50,000 tons of feed annually that is sold in the Western United States. The company markets its animal nutrition products and programs through its dealer network in the Rocky Mountain region. The acquisition also includes The Feed Bin, Ranch-Way Feeds’ retail store in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The sales, marketing and technical teams of Ranch-Way will merge with Hubbard’s operations. At this time, Hubbard Feeds will continue to market and sell the Ranch-Way brand.
“Hubbard Feeds and Ranch-Way Feeds represent a dynamic team of like-minded, science-driven and ag-passionate people,” said Kevin Levi, president of Ridley U.S. Feeds Operations, in a release announcing the acquisition. “We are confident that Western U.S. livestock producers will benefit from increased nutritional offerings, expanded sales and technical support, and access to cutting-edge technologies through the combined resources of Ranch-Way Feeds, Hubbard, Ridley and Alltech. This acquisition is driven by our shared motivation to strengthen our support of Western livestock producers.”
Based in Mankato, Minnesota, Hubbard Feeds produces commercial animal nutrition for customers primarily in the United States, ranging from milk, meat and egg producers to show-feed customers and lifestyle farmers. Ridley employs more than 700 people in the manufacture, sales and marketing of a range of animal nutrition products.
