Wilbur-Ellis and Canadian Bio-Systems to jointly distribute feed enzymes

Nov. 27, 2012, Calgary, AB – Wilbur-Ellis Company and Canadian Bio-Systems Inc. (CBS) have announced a joint marketing agreement for distribution of feed enzymes into the U.S. market.

Wilbur-Ellis, a marketer and distributor of value-added animal feed ingredients in North America and Asia-Pacific, penned the agreement with CBS to begin distribution this month.  For CBS, a manufacturer of products utilized in feed, food and industrial applications, this presents an opportunity for further geographic expansion into the U.S. livestock market and potentially into Asia-Pacific in the months ahead.  

“We recognize Wilbur-Ellis’ reputation and professional presence in the feed industry, which makes this partnership an excellent fit to enhance our market reach and service to the livestock sector,” said Owen Jones, president of CBS. “It’s apparent that their feed and marketing expertise allows them to make on-the-cusp, knowledgeable decisions, and we can appreciate that as a company.”

Jones also noted that CBS would bring value and efficiency to Wilbur-Ellis’ livestock portfolio, ultimately benefiting many of Wilbur-Ellis’ poultry and swine customers in the U.S.

“We’re working diligently on growing our livestock portfolio of ingredients as we are increasingly seeing a demand from our poultry and swine customers for ingredients that bring value to their operations,” said Ron Salter, president of Wilbur-Ellis’ Feed Division.

Wilbur-Ellis will be marketing and distributing a range of CBS products tailored to benefit specific livestock sectors.
