Alltech’s foundation and growth in South America are linked to the vision of its late founder, Dr. Pearse Lyons, to support the success of agricultural producers and improve the health and performance of the animals, consumers, and the environment through nutrition and scientific innovation. “My father saw a lot of potential when he visited South America in the early 1990s,” said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech. “He understood that countries like Brazil and Peru would become key markets for agriculture and established our offices. Over the past 30 years, we have continued our development through new investments, the construction of new manufacturing plants, acquisitions, and organic growth.” Brazil is the company’s third-largest market in the world and is home to six manufacturing facilities and 1,356 team members. Dr. Mark Lyons led the team in Brazil during the construction of Alltech’s largest yeast fermentation plant for animal and agricultural nutrition. Alltech Crop Science, initially called Improcrop, started its activities in Brazil in 2000. “We started as an innovative company in a consolidated market, but we grew along with Brazil’s search for the international market,” said Paulo Rigolin, Alltech’s vice president for Latin America. “Alltech’s culture fits very well with the Brazilian one; we have learned how to use technologies and global knowledge to adapt to the reality of our customers. It is a very successful story.” Alltech began operations in Peru in June 1993 in an office located in the Lima district of Miraflores with four employees. Today, this team has grown to 17 top-level professionals who are responsible for meeting the needs of Peruvian agricultural producers, both in terms of optimising animal nutrition and health and maximising crop yields.
