Animal health producer Animax has been bought by UK-based Carr’s Group plc. Animax, based in Suffolk in the UK, was established in 1982. The business specialises in the research, development and manufacture of animal health products. Animax is at the forefront of innovation in the field of livestock trace element supplementation. It manufactures patent-protected leaching boluses, under the Tracesure and Allsure brands. The products are sold in Ireland, the UK and further afield. Animax also produces other animal health and trace element supplementation products including Copasure, Copinox, Coprac, Easycal, Pardevit and Paracide.
The acquisition of Animax enhances the Carr’s position in the animal health and livestock supplementation markets. It also brings innovation, patent-protected technology and a number of respected brands to the group. In addition, Carr’s expects significant manufacturing, distribution and sales synergy benefits to be realised. Carr’s chief executive Tim Davies said: “Animax is highly complementary to our global feed block business and will add value to our customers’ businesses.”
