ANNAPOLIS, MD – Nat-Phen International, a manufacturer of natural food additives for livestock feed, today announced that it has chosen Wicomico County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore as the site of a new manufacturing facility. The Quebec-based Nat-Phen expects to invest $10 million in the new facility over the next five years and create up to 25 jobs, with the potential for more new jobs once the site is fully operational. Governor Larry Hogan met with the company today in Montreal as part of a regional economic development mission to Canada.
“Wicomico County, Maryland's central location, the commitment of Salisbury and Wicomico officials and the strong partnership with the economic development folks have made this decision easy,” said Yves Marchand, principal of Nat-Phen International. “We're thrilled to be setting up operations on Maryland's Eastern Shore and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.”
Nat-Phen produces plant-based, polyphenol additives to enhance the feed given to swine, poultry, cattle and other livestock and keep the animals healthy. The company’s Maryland operations will focus on the poultry industry. Nat-Phen expects to begin its Maryland manufacturing operations within the next 18 months, producing finished products for the U.S. domestic farming market.
"Maryland has a long, proud history of farming and manufacturing, and we’re proud to have Nat-Phen become the latest business to carry on that legacy,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “Maryland’s strategic location and access to highly-qualified employees, as well as our thriving agricultural industry will provide Nat-Phen with a competitive advantage to help the company expand into the U.S. market and attract new customers.”
“We welcome global company Nat-Phen to Maryland and look forward to helping them to grow in our state,” said Maryland Commerce Secretary Mike Gill. “They’ll make a great addition to Team Maryland, and will be a great partner for our state's farming industry.”
The American food market is constantly striving to provide higher-quality products, particularly meat, eggs and milk, and American consumers are increasingly concerned about the ethical treatment of
animals. Nat-Phen’s food additives improve both the quality of food production and the health of livestock while increasing the efficiency of food production.

DeleteYes ! Jobs. People work Good clothes. Houses ? Do they pay. The places. ! Yes. See. Kneel. No football plays. Hu hut hike ! Score. Ind zone yes. ! Jobs from Canada.
ReplyDeleteLet me guess. Maryland is going to give them tens of thousands of dollars to come here. Once they use that money, they're out of here!! Sound familiar?
ReplyDelete1118 any company coming here has that risk. As long as the local gov fees and taxes companies to death, companies aren't going to stay. Just basic econ tells you that inconvenient fact.

ReplyDelete11:25 I can see the campaign flyers now "Hogan brought jobs to Salisbury."
ReplyDeleteSmall steps are better than NO steps! Must restart sometime and why not now!
ReplyDeleteI still want some of what 1113 is drinking!!!!!!
Wanna bet they have second thoughts when their legal and accounting gurus fill them in on the law and tax aspects of doing business in Maryland.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we invest in American companies so they don't have to leave this miserable state?
ReplyDeleteHogan you are an incredible disappointment.
Will never vote for you again.
MAGA!
Why aren't we attracting American Companies? I believe MD taxes are so high we can only attract business from Canadian or other socialist countries.
