Novus International is celebrating 25 years of ALIMET feed supplement production with long-standing partner Ascend Performance Materials.

Over the last 25 years, Novus and Ascend, including its predecessors Solutia Inc. and Monsanto, have grown the ALIMET production facility in Chocolate Bayou, Texas to the largest liquid methionine manufacturing plant in the world. More than 600 Novus and Ascend employees and executives recently participated in a celebration of Alimet’s success at the Chocolate Bayou site.

“The people at Chocolate Bayou are not only helping to feed the world, they are helping to meet the world’s protein demand and to support sustainable agricultural practices.” stated Giovanni Gasperoni, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Sales, Novus International.

Currently, ALIMET is sold in more than 90 countries around the globe for inclusion in aquaculture, beef, dairy, pork and poultry rations.
