AUSTRALIAN ANIMAL HEALTH CO. ESTABLISHES ITS U.S. HEADQUARTERS IN KANSAS CITY AREA
Dec. 5, 2011
Agriculture Business Council of Kansas City reports:
SmartVet, an Australian animal health firm will establish its U.S. headquarters on Kansas State University's Olathe campus.
SmartVet entered the U.S. market earlier this year when it introduced its VetCap Delivery System, a device similar to a paintball gun that allows farmers and ranchers to apply capsules of insecticide for flies and ticks from as far as 30 feet away.
The VetCap system was released in the Southeastern United States through a partnership with St. Joseph-based AgriLabs Inc.
Vice President of Business Development Randall Tosh is currently SmartVet's sole U.S. employee, but he said the company expects to add employees as it builds it customer base and releases new products.
"Clearly, the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor offers real opportunity and advantage for us as a company," Tosh said. He noted that the time frame for taking on new employees will depend on regulatory approval for the additional products in the pipeline.
