Animal nutrition firm Alltech buys Lienart Australia for unknown sum
Kentucky-based Alltech, which has a large operation in Dunboyne, Co Meath, has purchased 100% of the shares in Lienert Australia from the Lienert family. The move solidifies the two companies’ long-term partnership supporting Australian farmers.
“Australia’s influence on the food chain extends far beyond its geographical borders, and the acquisition of Lienert Australia underscores Alltech’s long-term commitment to strong, sustainable agriculture as well as food quality and safety within the entire Asia-Pacific region,” said Dr Pearse Lyons, Irish-born president and founder of Alltech.
Alltech provides natural, nutritional solutions to the food and feed industries in 128 countries, covering North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. The Dunboyne operation is its European headquarters. For more than 40 years, Lienert Australia has manufactured, distributed and supplied ingredients, supplements and nutritional advice to the livestock and feedstock industries in Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. Their clients range from small family farms to commercial feed mills.
“We are delighted that Alltech... will be taking the business further forward to realise its full potential and build upon recent investments in both the manufacturing facility and the team,” said Nick Lienert, MD, Lienert Australia.
