Alltech, the title sponsor of the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2010, is one of the world’s leading animal health companies. Since its inception in 1980, Alltech has been committed to providing natural, nutritional solutions to meet the challenges facing the animal feed industry. More than 25 years later, Alltech employees more than 1,800 people in 85 countries around the world. “From concept to customer, a company is only as strong as its weakest link,” said Dr. Pearse Lyons, founder and president of Alltech. “Alltech is committed to maintaining the integrity of each and every link so that customers can look to us for solutions.” One of Alltech’s philosophies is, “If you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backward.” Through constant research, expanding production capacity, and refining marketing techniques, Alltech is an ever-evolving company that works hard to maintain its position in the feed industry. Through its education programs, cutting-edge research priorities, dedication to customer service and in-depth knowledge of animal health issues, Alltech has become the world leader in natural animal nutrition. Alltech employs a “marketing through education” philosophy to give customers and potential customers all of the information on Alltech products so they can make an informed decision. The cornerstone of this effort is Alltech’s International Feed Industry Symposium. Held annually in Lexington, Kentucky, the event draws 1,500-plus attendees from over 60 countries for three days of lectures and networking that are designed to make businesses more profitable. Alltech produces an entire line of premium equine products such as Yea-Sacc®1026, a live yeast culture proven to enhance digestion and nutrient availability, and Sel-Plex®, an organic selenium that provides better exercise tolerance and an optimized immune system. Alltech’s nutritional supplements are fed by equine industry leaders all over the world and backed by years of research and proven results. To meet the ever-increasing demand for its yeast-based products, Alltech has stepped up production capacity around the world. Never is this more evident than in the new state-of-the-art yeast factory in Sao Pedro do Ivai, Brazil. The facility is one of the world’s largest yeast factories with a production capacity of approximately 60,000 tons of dried product per year. Alltech has 14 production facilities around the world, allowing local production to reach all the countries in which it operates. This allows Alltech customers to expect a consistent product delivered to them in an efficient and timely manner. In June 2006, Alltech became the first-ever title sponsor of the FEI World Equestrian Games. Its historic title sponsorship gave the company naming rights to the 2010 Games, now officially called the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2010. “Alltech is about passion, performance, and excellence. These qualities are also found in the athletes that participate in the World Equestrian Games. Alltech is the perfect partner for the Games as we are truly a global company, representing many of the same countries that send athletes to compete in this worldwide competition,” said Lyons. Alltech’s international headquarters are located in Nicholasville, Kentucky, just outside of Lexington. For more information visit, www.alltech.com.
