Vetagro, a company that develops and supplies high-quality feed additives, celebrated the groundbreaking of its new production facility in Easton, Maryland, US, a major milestone in the Italy-based company’s global expansion strategy.
Planned since 2023 and scheduled for completion in July 2026, the facility will serve as a key production and distribution hub, strengthening Vetagro’s presence in North America while supporting exports to international markets.
The company stated that Easton was selected for its strategic location, offering direct access to major ports and airports that facilitate global trade. Its proximity to the US livestock industry—particularly the swine and poultry sectors—will also enable Vetagro to serve customers more effectively and respond quickly to evolving needs.
Andrea Piva, President of Vetagro, highlighted the significance of the project: “As an Italian company, we have built our success on a tradition of scientific excellence, positioning ourselves as leaders in gut health and specialists in precision animal nutrition. Establishing a plant in the United States is a natural step in our corporate strategy, bringing our expertise and innovative products closer to customers worldwide. We chose Easton not only for its logistical advantages, but also because Maryland is a vital hub for commerce, home to key government agencies, research centers, and a thriving business community. We have been deeply impressed by the collaborative environment here and are confident it will help us grow while continuing to provide innovative, high-quality solutions to our customers around the globe.”
The Easton facility underscores Vetagro’s strong commitment to the US market and to advancing the science of animal nutrition worldwide, according to the announcement. Beyond enhancing operational capacity, the investment is expected to contribute to the local economy and foster a collaborative ecosystem for innovation.
