Dr. Eckel Animal Nutrition GmbH & Co. KG

Dr. Eckel Animal Nutrition is all about innovative feed additives made in Germany. Our value-orientated family business was founded by Dr Antje Eckel in Niederzissen, in the beautiful Eifel region, in 1994, where we are still firmly established. We have meanwhile gained international success. Indeed, Dr. Eckel is one of the world’s foremost companies in the sector with a specific focus on animal welfare, developing products that make animal nutrition more resource-efficient, climate-friendly and healthy. This is how we contribute to sustainable global nutrition. Dr. Eckel Animal Nutrition represents excellence, innovation and responsibility towards people, animals and the environment. Our products combine innovation and quality, which is what sets us apart. Our customers value our solutions for profitable animal nutrition. These promote animal welfare and enable our customers to achieve sustainable, long-term success. To this end, our multinational team of experts conducts research and works with specialists from around 20 different countries. This is but one of the reasons why Dr. Eckel was identified as a hidden champion by the Forschungszentrum Mittelstand (FZM), a research institute for the German Mittelstand at the University of Trier. Every year, we invest more than 10 per cent of our revenue in innovation projects for our customers, partners and employees. These consist of new products, consolidating our digital infrastructure and sustainability projects such as replacing our current company fleet with electric vehicles, among others. And our commitment is paying off, as evidenced by the various awards we receive, including Leading Employer, ‘Top Arbeitgeber im Mittelstand’ (Top ‘Mittelstand’ Employer) by FOCUS magazine and the ‘Innovative through Research’ seal of approval.
