In celebration of National Pet Day on April 11, we sat down with Nick Braden who leads our pet nutrition business.

Each year, Wilbur-Ellis Nutrition is proud to support this one-day event, which celebrates the unique and wonderful bond between pets and their owners. As we’ve done for years, after a full day of sunshine and activities, our team sponsors the culminating Friends & Family Dinner.

At Wilbur-Ellis, safety has always been of the utmost importance. We owe it to ourselves, our partners and, of course, our customers to ensure the highest level of care is taken to ensure the quality we are known for remains a part of our DNA. This is why—over the past year—the Wilbur-Ellis Nutrition team has made some big moves and investments to expand our commitment to meeting Food Safety, Quality and Regulatory standards and both identify and close any potential for actual or perceived process gaps along the way.

Wilbur-Ellis Feed, LLC, today announces the acquisition of the assets of Ameri-Pac Inc., a family-owned, value-added manufacturing business focused on animal health and nutrition specialty products for pet food, companion animals, livestock and aquaculture industries.

Every year, Wilbur-Ellis, through its Impact Funds program, allocates funds for employee-driven contributions that benefit the communities where its employees live and work. Wilbur-Ellis’ Feed Division recently donated $3,500 Canadian Dollars to the Windy City Canine Rescue Society, a dog shelter based in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, that helps older dogs in need of a new home find their perfect family. Wilbur-Ellis’ donation will cover the shelter’s operational costs for an entire month.
