Overseas offices
The company’s earliest overseas markets were the United Kingdom, Spain and Malaysia. By 1973 product demand necessitated a European sales and production site which was built in Herentals, Belgium, with a second major manufacturing plant built in Singapore in 1988.
Growth in the 1990s
Dr. Chris Nelson joined the company as R&D director of Kemin AgriFoods Europe and introduced Kemin to the new science of biochemistry. The 1990s saw Kemin branching out from its agricultural base and entering four new markets; pharmaceuticals, pet foods, nutraceuticals, and food ingredients.
