Kemin invests heavily in new facilities

Kemin Industries has laid the foundation of its new Des Moines corporate headquarters, covering more than 90 000 square feet. The new building, which is scheduled to be complete by early 2017, is designed as an expansion that will connect the recently opened Molecular Advancement Center (MAC) on the north-east side of the campus to the new headquarters. The headquarters will house nearly 350 employees along with a fitness centre and dining facility. The corporate headquarters is scheduled to be complete by early 2017.

The company has steadily marched forward with its growth plans after an event in October 2010, when it publicly announced a $40 mio expansion plan that would add new jobs, multiple manufacturing and research facilities and a new global headquarters. In September 2014, Kemin increased the total expansion investment to $125.5 mlo, more than tripling the initial investment.
