Global
animal nutrition and health leader Alltech has officially opened its second
regional Indian office in Kolkata. The brand new building, which also includes
a 7,000-square-foot warehouse, will be used as a support center for the
company’s business operations in East and Northeast India as well as Nepal.
Located
on the east bank of the Hooghly River, Kolkata is the capital of the West
Bengal. The city is the commercial, cultural and educational centre of East
India with the country’s oldest operating port. It is also an important area
for the Indian poultry, dairy, aquaculture and equine industries. Alltech’s
newly opened facility will be used to support the company’s logistics and sales
operations to Nepal, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and North Eastern States
excluding the West Bengal area.
“We have
hired eight full time employees at the new office in order to give the highest
level of support to our customers in the region,” said Sayed Aman, regional manager,
Alltech South Asia.

Alltech
entered the Indian market in 2001 and shortly after developed the business to
become a multimillion dollar region for the company. Today, with over 100
employees as well as two strategically located production facilities,
Alltech India is one of the fastest growing regions for Alltech.
“Whether looking
to improve the yield of maize for silage, get more milk from cows, improve
chickens’ health status or enrich eggs with DHA, Alltech offers solutions and
services to Indian producers and farmers tailored to bring performance and
profitability to their operation,” said Matthew Smith, regional director,
Alltech Asia Pacific. “With our newly opened facility in Kolkata, Alltech will
be even more well-placed to support farmers in reaching these goals.”
