The Andersons Buys Pet Food Ingredient Company

The Andersons Inc. announced on Nov. 1 that it has purchased Bridge Agri Partners Inc., Lethbridge, Alta., which specializes in providing ingredients to the pet food industry.

“We are excited to expand our pet food ingredient portfolio and our physical presence in the central northern region of the US and Canada,” said Bill Krueger, President, The Andersons Trade and Processing. “As a trusted partner in the pet food ingredient industry for many years, we are eager to offer greater options to our customers.”

The company said the acquisition further supports its strategy to expand in its core grain and fertilizer businesses, including premium products focused on food and feed, and its vision to become the most nimble and innovative North American ag supply chain company.

Bridge Agri Partners will continue to work under the Bridge Agri Partners name as a wholly owned subsidiary of The Andersons.
