Alltech has finalised its purchase of Ridley Inc, its eighth and largest acquisition to date.
 

Ridley now operates as a division within Alltech and the current range of Ridley products and solutions will continue to be available through existing distribution channels. In the near future, customers will benefit from an increased variety of nutritional solutions and services, backed by the latest scientific research from Alltech.

“This combination is about our customers, and the enhanced ability we will now have to deliver solutions to them that are built upon the history, strength and scientific innovation of both companies,” continued Dr Lyons.

“We are excited to officially welcome the talented Ridley employees to the Alltech family and look forward to achieving many successes together.”
