As I've mentioned in this e-letter before, your success is our success. Diamond V has provided all-natural, research-proven nutritional fermentation products since 1943 and our commitment to helping our customers succeed has enabled Diamond V to continue investing in research and technologies that make our products even better. It also enables us to deploy top-tier science that illustrates and validates how Diamond V ingredients work in your animals. And now, we have the latest testament to that mutual benefit between you--our customer--and our company: a new global headquarters and expansion of our manufacturing facilities. 

Last month we broke ground on a new, $4.5 million, 17,000 sq. ft. worldwide headquarters in Cedar Rapids, IA. It is scheduled to open in July 2012. The new headquarters will support a 65-percent increase in administrative, technical and sales support staff and provide additional space for training and client meetings. The planned new high-technology headquarters is being located on the 77-acre Diamond V campus in Cedar Rapids. The campus also contains a recently constructed manufacturing plant and ample room for expansion. The campus' manufacturing plant is undergoing a $12.5 million expansion, hiking production capacity by 40 percent. The expansion enables Diamond V to deliver its industry-best customer service while keeping pace with growing demand in the United States and worldwide. 

Our President and CEO John Bloomhall says it best: "Our continued growth results from a singular focus on microbial fermentation technology, really understanding the technology, and being the best in the world at using it."

Our producer customers have allowed us the privilege of demonstrating our world-class technology on their farms ...and in their financial statements...every day. We owe our exciting expansion to that privileged trust. If you are ever in Cedar Rapids, please stop by. We'd love to show you the new digs!
