Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer, opened a new regional headquarters and state-of-the-art research laboratory for Kemin Nutrisurance, the company’s business unit dedicated to developing innovative ingredients and solutions for the pet food and rendering industries, in Veronella (VR), Italy, on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
According to the announcement, this new facility marks a significant milestone for the company, underscoring its ongoing commitment to investing in innovation, people, and the local community. It represents a strategic expansion that complements the existing production facility and laboratory in Veronella to further strengthen the site’s role as a central hub for Kemin Nutrisurance’s operations across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
Kemin Nutrisurance established a presence in Europe in 2011 with a team of 20 people, which has grown to 125 employees. The new Kemin Nutrisurance regional headquarters will reportedly support the development of a region that currently contributes around 30% of Kemin Nutrisurance’s global revenue and has achieved an average annual growth of over 11% over the past five years.
The investment in Veronella covers 3,400 square meters, including 1,000 square meters dedicated to research, and involved more than 30 local companies, generating value for the local economy and community.
“This territory has given us the strength to grow,” said Nicola Abrate, General Manager, Kemin Nutrisurance – Europe. “Today, we are committed to giving back by fostering innovation and attracting talent from around the world.”
The grand opening event welcomed Kemin’s global leadership, including Dr. Chris Nelson, President and CEO, Kemin Industries; Kimberly Nelson Gracia, President, Kemin Nutrisurance; and the Kemin Industries leadership team, as well as local authorities and community stakeholders.
