Over the decades, the company has grown from a small livestock operation into a diversified enterprise supporting agriculture, food production, and pet industries through integrated services such as milling, transportation, pet treat manufacturing, extrusion, contract packaging, and ingredient solutions.
Fairview Mills LLC is nearing completion and will open a first of its kind animal protein meal refinement and blending facility in Falls City, Nebraska.
The new 63,000 square foot facility represents a significant advancement in post render processing for pet food ingredients and is expected to create 8 to 10 new full time jobs, with roughly half of those positions being salaried roles.
The investment brings both economic impact to the local community and technological progress to the pet food supply chain.
This expansion reflects J Six’s focus on helping customers strengthen their businesses through improved nutrition, enhanced value, and more reliable supply chains.
The facility incorporates a fully integrated system featuring advanced foreign matter removal, controlled refinement processes, and precision custom blending. These innovations are designed to optimize protein utilization, improve nutritional consistency, and reduce variability in finished products.
As a result, the facility can deliver a sustainable and scalable supply of animal/poultry protein meals with higher protein content, improved digestibility, and lower ash levels than what is commonly available to premium pet food manufacturers today.
This expansion responds directly to growing industry demand for ingredient transparency, consistent nutritional performance, and stronger safeguards against contamination risks. By shifting from availability driven sourcing to specification driven manufacturing, Fairview Mills is enabling the consistent production of customized animal protein ingredients that meet defined physical and nutritional standards.
Troy Kramer, VP of Sales, and Business Development says “The facility is designed for quality, consistency, and speed with state-of-the-art real time ingredient analysis throughout the entire system. Our process enhances already premium ingredients from the animal and poultry food chains. We are excited to bring this much needed service to the Heartland of the United States, and Pet Food Manufactures nationwide.”
