In 1972, company founder Jack Behnken moved his family from Battle Creek, Michigan to Ogden, Utah and began building his dream which was then called Animal Nutrition.
From very humble beginnings and much hard work, Jack saw his company grow from one small dry kibble manufacturing plant near the railroad in Ogden, UT to a nationwide network of pet food manufacturing plants in:
- Ogden, UT
- Phoenix, AZ
- Woodland, WA
- Emporia, KS
- Hazleton Township, PA.
Jack passed away in early 2007 but his legacy of quality petfood manufacturing continues to be driven by his son, Bill Behnken, CEO and President.
Today, American Nutrition, Incorporated is a leading manufacturer of quality pet foods for your dog or cat. If you are looking for a pet food manufacturer to professionally produce cat and dog food products we invite you to explore our capabilities and contact us.
