Animal nutrition firm Alltech buys Lienart Australia for unknown sum

Animal nutrition company Alltech has acquired Lienert Australia for an undisclosed 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.
