Kent Group becomes APHA's latest corporate sponsor
|
FORT
WORTH, Texas-The Kent Group, one of the world's largest privately
owned manufacturers and distributors of livestock feed, has become
the latest sponsor of the American Paint Horse Association (APHA).
APHA's
involvement with the Kent Group, based in Muscatine, Iowa, will
help the association provide enhanced prize packages for association
activities.
The
Kent Group comprises three feed companies, including Kent Feeds
Inc., Blue Seal Feeds Inc., and Evergreen Mills.
Kent
Feeds, also in Muscatine, was established 75 years ago and serves
customers in the Midwest. Blue Seal Feeds, a 150-year-old company,
located in Londonderry, N.H., has a customer base in the Northeast.
Evergreen Mills, in Ada, Okla., serves the Southwest and has been
in business for 100 years.
"With
more than 300 years of combined experience in the feed business,
the Kent Group has developed an in-depth knowledge of the needs
of the livestock and companion animal industries," said Art
Lurndal, the company's vice president of advertising, promotions
and public relations.
"We
are deeply committed to continuing our tradition of investing our
resources heavily in research and development, continually making
top-quality feed available to our customers."
Kent
maintains manufacturing facilities and retail outlets in 23 U.S.
states and is actively pursuing distributorships in other states.
"Our
association with APHA will greatly help us reach even more horse
owners with our product line," Lurndal said.
"Obviously,
bringing a new sponsor on board such as the Kent Group is a welcome
addition to our growing list of corporate support," said Jim
Kelley, executive secretary of APHA.
"
The company will be an active supporter of many of our programs.
In addition to that support, the Kent Group offers us an affiliation
with a feed company with a proven track record of research and development.
Healthier, more productive livestock have resulted from this type
of research and we in the horse business appreciate the Kent Group's
commitment in this area. The company is recognized as an innovator
in the field of horse feed and nutrition."
