Ralco invest in feed mill capacities in US

Ralco’s rapid growth during the past decade has required it to utilise several manufacturing and distribution facilities in Marshall to keep up with demand for its products. However, construction of a new 30,000-foot distribution centre at the Lake Road Industrial Park and the prospective feed mill expansion will allow the company to centralise operations for greater efficiency.

The upgrades will also allow Ralco to vacate a current manufacturing facility located near 8th Street. Partial ownership of the facility will transfer to the City of Marshall by June 1. Ralco will continue some of its manufacturing at the location as complete ownership of the facility will be assumed by the city during the next two years.

Vice President of Operations for Ralco, Dennis Conlon said upgrading the manufacturing plant and future construction in the Lake Road Industrial Park would provide a coordinated approach to greater expansion in Marshall. “Ralco has grown very rapidly which has caused us to outgrow some of our current facilities. The investment we are planning in our manufacturing capacity and the distribution centre we have built at Lake Road allows us to consolidate to more central campuses, and utilize state-of-the-art mixing and packaging technologies”. Conlon said. “This will promote efficiency and provide us with more opportunity to grow.”

Ralco is a third-generation family owned multinational company with distribution in more than 30 countries. Ralco produces products for the livestock, poultry, aquaculture and crop industries.
