Purina completes US factory expansion

Purina has completed a 156-mio-dollar expansion at the company's local factory in Clinton, Iowa (USA). The project expands capacity and production capabilities for Purina's pet care brands and adds a technical training centre. The expansion will create 96 new positions at the factory, which now employs approximately 570 people.

Purina also purchased a building adjacent to the factory that has been retrofitted for the packaging and storage of two unique Purina brands, with room to grow. The company is also investing in the future of its employees: the new technical training centre in Clinton supports Purina's investment in digital tools and technology to enhance collaboration and innovation in manufacturing. The Technical Training Centre will be the hub for employee onboarding and incorporate both structured and self-driven training with digital tools and replicas of production equipment for employees to practise on.
