On April 30, Ag Growth International Inc. (AGI) told Petfood Industry about its enhanced food offering during Petfood Forum 2024 in Kansas City. With a comprehensive suite of flexible solutions, AGI said it now supports pet food manufacturers across North America and Europe.
“AGI’s commitment to excellence begins with its team and manufacturing capabilities,” said Brian Harder, AGI vice president of Global Food. “AGI expanded its competencies in food over the years by acquiring industry-leading companies along with their talented group of experts and manufacturing facilities. We have taken the time to integrate the different companies and establish processes to provide a unified offering and experience to our customers. This, combined with global manufacturing, positions AGI as a premier partner for pet food manufacturers.”
Expanded capabilities
AGI serves a diverse group of customers to support and manufacture a wide range of pet food end-products from kibbles to fresh pet food. Expanded capabilities include integrated solutions ranging from standalone services to turnkey projects; teams with decades of experience in food process engineering, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and food regulations; and extensive reach leveraging AGI’s network of in-house experts and external service providers. These key differentiators, along with AGI’s extensive network of in-house experts and external service providers, deliver a premium benefit to customers looking to scale and improve their operations.
"When you choose AGI, customers gain a dedicated partner who works as an extension of their team, aligning with your goals, standards, budgets, and timelines,” said Barry Harkin, AGI vice president of Global Food Sales. “Our focus is to work in a way that complements the customer’s current structure. We can deliver on select scopes of work or manage the entire project. This is our unique value proposition to the food industry, looking for the experience and capabilities of a large company, and the personalized service and agility of a smaller one.”
AGI’s broad range of offerings include consulting, engineering, project management and execution, equipment supply, millwrighting and installation, turnkey solutions, and after-sales service. In addition to pet food, AGI’s global food expertise extends across the following industries bakery and confection, food ingredients, cereals and snacks, pet food, pastas, liquid and beverage, meat and seafood, grains, and pulses.
