NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2026 97 Dr. Eckel Animal Nutrition, a German family-owned producer of innovative feed additives, put a new filling and packaging line into operation at its Niederzissen (Germany) site. In addition to the installation itself, the investment also includes the associated IT infrastructure. Together, these measures increase capacity, improve internal processes and ensure reliable supply for customers in both national and international markets. At the same time, the company underlines its commitment to developing a modern, future-oriented production site and to setting new standards in excellence and quality. The company notes that the smooth transition to the new line was made possible above all by the strong commitment of the production staff and the entire project team. Project Manager Ingrid Bauschinger draws a consistently positive conclusion: “In recent weeks, we were finally able to see with our own eyes what we had prepared over more than two years. This was made possible by everyone involved, from product development to quality management.” Managing Director Dr. Victor Eckel already considers the new line a success: “With this investment, we are ideally positioned to meet growing demand in our customer markets. I am extremely proud of our team for implementing this important future project with such care, reliability and commitment.” For Head of Operations Waldemar Berg, dismantling the old line marked the most challenging phase of the project. “It is quite a moment when everything in production is shut down and complete silence sets in,” he says.
