Plant manager Bill Calloway says the expansion will help
the facility better serve customers in Western states and meet added demand. He
says the company’s decision is a vote of confidence in workers and the Flagstaff
area.
The plant produces 53 different
products and puts out 220,000 tons of pet food a year. It ships pet food to
several Western states, Hawaii and northern Mexico.
