Berg + Schmidt Animal Nutrition opens a new company in Dubai

Berg + Schmidt – Animal Nutrition has unveiled a new subsidiary in Dubai, Berg and Schmidt Middle East Trading LLC. The strategic move will allow the company to respond to the growing demand for feed additives and offer clients enhanced customer service in the Gulf Cooperation Council states (GCC). Berg + Schmidt is part of the Stern-Wywiol Gruppe, from which CEO, Torsten Wywiol, attended the grand opening ceremony in August, underlining the importance of this key business decision.

The Middle East feed market is rapidly expanding, especially for broilers, aqua-culture, dairy and beef. The Gulf States such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman have an ever-increasing need for live-stock feed but also huge demand for innovative feed additives that support health and performance of the animals.

Our commitment to continuous research, service and cus-tomer orientation are major pillars of our success. Therefore, the opening of a subsidiary in Dubai which will enhance our offering in the Middle East is the right move.”
