Jorge Martínez, President of ADM's pet nutrition segment, underscores the strategic importance of Guadalajara, expecting the investment to triple the company's capacity in the burgeoning pet food market.
ADM is deepening its footprint in the pet nutrition sector with a significant $33 million investment in a new production line in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Set to increase its workforce by 65%, the move bolsters the production capabilities for renowned pet food brands and paves the way for ADM's future product innovations. The company's decision to expand in Jalisco, a growing economic hub in Mexico, strategically positions it for broader reach within Mexico, Central America, and Colombia.
