BHJ acquisition of pet food operation in Fort Dodge, Iowa

BHJ has acquired the company Fort Dodge Ice & Cold LLC in Fort Dodge, Iowa. The acquisition has been carried out through BHJ USA Inc. in Omaha, Nebraska, and will in the future be part of this company.

The company consists of more than 10,000 square metres of buildings including dry storage, a chilled production building and a cold storage with capacity for 9,000 pallets.

The current operation is running at a processing capacity of approx. 50% of the throughput of BHJ USA Inc.’s Omaha plant.
