Anpario plc, one of the global manufacturers of natural animal feed additives, has announced a manufacturing partnership with Saife Vetmed India Pvt. Ltd.
Anpario plc, an independent international manufacturer and distributor of natural animal feed additives, has signed new manufacturing partnership agreement with New Delhi-based Saife Vetmed India Pvt. Ltd.
In the last 10 years economic development in India has seen a regular year on year growth of 6% of GDP, consequently the market is attracting significant interest from international producers of feed ingredients. India is the second largest producer of eggs in the world behind China, the eighth largest producer of chicken meat, the largest producer of milk contributing 24% of all the milk produced in the world and is the second largest producer of shrimp behind Ecuador.
Saife Vetmed based in New Delhi, have successfully represented Anpario’s flagship product Orego-Stim in India since 2008. Orego-Stim, developed and manufactured by Anpario, is the leading phytogenic feed additive formulated from a unique source of 100% natural oregano essential oil, and is proven to support profitable, health and performance in all species, according to the company. Changes to production practices and a greater focus on sustainable solutions to drive healthy profitable growth, combined with improved access to the market over the last 2 years have almost tripled Orego-Stim sales and the partnership is ready to move to the next level.
A STABLE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE PARTNER
Andrew Jackson, Commercial Director at Anpario, commented, “We believe it is the right moment to increase our focus on India and capitalise on the opportunity such a significant market represents to Anpario.”
“India is a significant opportunity, but it is also a considerable challenge, to be successful in such a goliath of a market we need a stable and knowledgeable partner. In Saife Vetmed we believe we have found that partner,” Jackson continued.
To help expand the sales opportunity more quickly the two parties have agreed upon and signed a first and unique production under licence agreement. The agreement was signed on the 24th of November at the Poultry India show on Saife Vetmed’s stand in Hyderabad. “The objective of such an agreement is to allow the partnership to offer Orego-Stim in a more affordable package to customers in India and so speed up our sales growth in the country,” explained Andrew Jackson.
Major (ex) Bhupendra Singh, Saife Vetmed’s Production Manager, visited Anpario’s production facility in the UK earlier in the year to understand the exacting standards required to produce Orego-Stim and meet the renowned high-quality specification. The Saife Vetmed production facility based in Dehradun in the foothills of the Himalia’s holds GMP+ accreditation.
