KMG Chemicals in Agreement with R&D LifeSciences to
Distribute Animal Feed Additive Products
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- KMG
Chemicals, Inc. (NASDAQ: KMGB), a global provider of
specialty chemicals in carefully focused markets, today
announced that it has signed a distribution agreement
with R&D LifeSciences, LLC (“R&DL”), an innovative
biotech product company, to distribute R&DL’s product
line of animal feed additives in North and South
America.
Randy Berry, General
Manager of KMG Chemicals’ Animal Health business,
commented, “R&DL has developed an exclusive,
patent-pending technology that will allow us, through
our distributors, to offer farm-specific, alternative
products to antibiotics that can be administered with
the animals’ feed. The product offering also includes
digestion, growth and performance enhancing products
administered via the watering systems in dairies,
poultry facilities, swine barns and feed lots.”
David Zehendner,
President and CEO of R&DL, commented, “We are pleased to
partner with KMG to distribute our expanding animal feed
products line including Zymace™, Lactomace™ and
Protemace™. KMG was our obvious first choice due to its
strong market presence and excellent reputation and its
immediate and direct access to major feed companies and
distributors. We also welcome KMG’s technical and
marketing support as we work together to grow the feed
additive business. We look forward to working with KMG
in building the market for our current product line,
second generation products now in the works and others
as they are developed.”
Mr. Berry concluded,
“We are excited to be able to introduce this new product
offering to our customers. Growing our Animal Health
segment beyond ectoparasiticides is one of our corporate
goals. We have an extensive distribution channel partner
network in North America serving poultry and livestock
growers, and are developing a network in Latin America.
In addition to adding these feed-enhancement products
into our existing Animal Health business, we see other
opportunities to further expand our product offering by
leveraging the distribution network we have developed.”
