Nutreco announced today that its global animal nutrition research centres will be renamed Trouw Nutrition R&D. This change is part of the strengthening of its global animal nutrition activities under one brand.
Trouw Nutrition R&D has five research centres operating in the Netherlands, Spain and Canada. Nutreco will also double its investment in R&D and innovation over the next years.
The company’s fish feed business operates under the brand name Skretting. Its research activities are clustered in the Skretting Aquaculture Research Centre based in Norway and has additional research units in Italy, Spain, China and Japan.
“Our R&D strategy remains unchanged and our innovative strength is focused on three areas: Life Start, Health & Welfare and Feed Efficiency,” says Leo den Hartog, Director Trouw Nutrition R&D. “We believe that technological advancements in animal nutrition must play a central role in improving the environmental footprint of the food industry as a whole and in feeding a growing world population.”
To underline the importance of technological advancements, both from a customer and sustainability perspective, Nutreco has committed itself to double its investment in R&D and innovation both in animal nutrition and fish feed over the next few years.
