CORPORATE PROFILE
WHERE INNOVATION COMES NATURALLY
At Alltech, our mission is to improve the health and performance of people, animals and plants through nutrition and scientific innovation.
Founded by Dr. Pearse Lyons in 1980, and headquartered in Kentucky, U.S., Alltech provides natural, nutritional solutions to the food and feed
industries in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Its mission is supported by more than 3,000 employees in 128
countries. Alltech’s global presence is also reflected in its research and production, including three major Bioscience Centers in the U.S. and Ireland
and 32 production facilities strategically located throughout the world.
Alltech improves health and performance by adding nutritional value naturally through its innovative use of yeast fermentation, enzyme technology,
algae and nutrigenomics. The company’s pursuit of this mission is guided by its founding ACE principle, our promise that in doing business we have
a positive impact on the Animal, the Consumer, and the Environment.
Alltech is the only privately held company among the top-10 animal health companies in the world. This is a source of competitive advantage,
allowing Alltech to stay focused on customer needs, innovation and long-term objectives. The flexibility has also fueled Alltech’s growth, which has
been approximately 20-25% annually. The company is approaching $1 billion in sales and is on target to achieve $4 billion by 2016.
NATURAL SOLUTIONS FOR AN EVOLVING MARKET
Alltech’s core business is animal nutrition and aquaculture, which generates 95% of sales. We work with the largest feed manufacturers in the world
and provide them with nutritional technologies that not only improve the bottom line, but are natural and friendly to the Animal, the Consumer, and
the Environment.
Our company also has a growing consumer division that capitalizes on its passionate commitment to
scientific innovation, particularly nutrigenomics and yeast fermentation technology. Products range
from Lyons Farm premium meats, to a line of award-winning beverages, including Kentucky Bourbon
Barrel Ale ® and Town Branch ® bourbon.

FUNDAMENTALS
CORPORATE PROFILE
New product development at Alltech is the result of synergy between
the company’s primacy in science and its understanding of customers’
needs and expectations. The Alltech brand rests on two fundamentals:
excellence in innovation and quality assurance.
At Alltech, we foster innovation by nurturing talent at all stages. Our
commitment begins with inspiring scientific and agricultural studies at
the primary school level through the construction of science laboratories
in schools and Alltech’s Kidzone program, an online resource teachers
can use to introduce students to agriculture and its fundamental role in
sustaining life. At the collegiate level, the annual Alltech Young Scientist
Award competition receives more than 8000 entries worldwide for its
research rewards. To date, more than 110 undergraduate students have
completed an internship program at Alltech’s Nutrigenomics Center in
Kentucky, and more than 150 PhD and 70 master’s theses have been
accomplished through work at Alltech’s bioscience centers.
In terms of quality assurance, the Alltech Quality System (AQS) is
recognized throughout the feed industry as a standard to follow. The
AQS delivers the exact same level of quality assurance and traceability
in each of Alltech’s geographical markets, based on a uniform process
designed to meet and exceed other third-party systems of certification.
RECENT EXPANSION
As a family owned and operated company, one of Alltech’s cornerstones
of success has always been its ability to reinvest all profits directly back
into its business. We are reinvesting more than $100 million in our global
operations as part of our ongoing expansion this year.
These investments include:
• New production facilities in Georgia and Kentucky; Russia; and
Argentina.
• Upgrades and the installation of new equipment in Kentucky and Dubai.
• Expansion of Alltech’s European Headquarters in Dunboyne, Ireland,
and production facilities in Belgium, Brazil and South Africa.
• A major expansion of our brewery in Lexington, Kentucky, that will
increase production one thousand percent to meet the growing thirst
for our Kentucky Ale® family of products.
INVOLVEMENT
Alltech believes in giving back to the communities in which we work.
With this in mind, we established Alltech’s ACE Involvement Foundation,
a charitable foundation to help fund the philanthropic efforts of the
company, our employees and partners around the world. One component
of this commitment is the Alltech Sustainable Haiti Project. Today the
project includes financial responsibility for two primary schools in
northern Haiti and the resurrection of a Haitian gem—the country’s 100%
mountain-grown, organic Arabica coffee. Alltech provides a sales and
marketing channel for these coffee beans through its Fair Trade certified
Alltech’s Café Citadelle, and profits from the coffee’s sale are reinvested
in the two Haitian primary schools the company supports.
EQUESTRIAN SPORTS SPONSORSHIP
Alltech’s commitment to national and international equestrian sports
began with its title sponsorship of the 2010 Alltech ® FEI World Equestrian
Games in Kentucky. More than half a million spectators from all 50 US
states and 63 countries attended the event, and another 500 million
television viewers around the world joined in the excitement.
Equine championships are a natural fit with Alltech’s passion for peak
animal performance. Alltech is proud to continue its sponsorship of
equine competition, including the Alltech ® FEI World Equestrian Games
2014 in Normandy, France, the Alltech Royal Windsor Grand Prix in
the U.K. and the Alltech National Horse Show in the U.S., along with a
number of national events.
