Kent® Featured at White House "Made in America" Event

Washington, DC – Gage Kent and Jimmy Kent represented Kent at the "Made in America" product showcase at the White House on July 23, 2018.

The Muscatine, Iowa-based company was invited to join President Trump and Vice President Pence in celebrating the importance of manufacturing, economic growth, and jobs for American workers.

"The Kent brand has been providing research-driven, high-quality nutrition that sets industry standards for feeding America’s livestock for generations. When my grandfather started the company, he established a reputation for high-quality animal nutrition products that we continue today," said Gage Kent, Chairman and CEO of Kent Corporation. "It is a proud moment for all of us at Kent to reflect back on 90 years of leadership in the industry, and be asked to participate in today’s White House event representing both Iowa and agriculture."
