Novus International Inc., a global provider of animal health and nutrition solutions, confirms an in-depth investment review with its partner Arkema Inc. to expand the manufacturing capacity at Arkema’s plant in Beaumont, Texas.

The facility produces multiple key ingredients for agriculture products including methylmercapto-propionaldehyde (MMP), used to produce Novus’ ALIMET feed supplement, a key source of methionine, which is an essential amino acid used in healthy animal diets.

Jeff Klopfenstein, Novus International’s methionine business unit president, said the expansion will ensure a steady product supply for new and current customers in the growing animal nutrition market.
