LISTEN BACK: Waterford-based Specialist Nutrition has secured a five-year deal worth €135m to supply by-products from a US ethanol plant as sustainable feed to farmers in New York.
Part of the Arvum Group, Specialist Nutrition is a leading international expert in turning co-products produced by the distilling, brewing and biofuel industries into sustainable animal feed.
Tracing its origins back to 1859, the group comprises a number of agri businesses, renowned for innovation in seed and animal feed.
Its co-product business, developed through working with some of the industry’s biggest names, is highly sustainable for manufacturers as it removes the costly drying at the end of the distilling process and reduces the carbon footprint.
Arvum Group CEO Roy Power spoke to WLR's Eimear McKeown about the deal.
