KENT Corporation Rebrands as KENT WORLDWIDE for Future Growth
KENT Corporation Transforms into KENT WORLDWIDE
Founded in 1927, the Family Business's New Logo Connects Heritage & Future
As we approach a significant milestone of 100 years since our humble beginnings as Kent Feeds, we reflect on our evolution from a single-family operation to a global leader in various industries. With a rich history in food, beverage, agriculture, and pet care, we are excited to announce the rebranding of our company to KENT WORLDWIDE. This strategic move aims to unify our diversified operations under a single, recognizable global name.
“The name KENT WORLDWIDE carries our story forward,” states Gage Kent, Chairman & CEO. “Since 1927, we have maintained a drive for innovation. Our journey from animal nutrition to a diversified global enterprise has showcased our commitment to purposeful growth and core values.”
This subtle but significant name change honors our roots; recognizing our previous identity, Kent Corporation, and our original name, Kent Feeds. The same family that founded the company leads us today, fueled by their passion, ingenuity, and determination that has shaped our legacy. Our new identity as KENT WORLDWIDE signifies not just a rebranding, but our dedication to serving our customers globally as we move towards a bright future.
We're thrilled to share that exciting developments are underway at KENT WORLDWIDE. Currently, we are finalizing a multi-year project that involves restoring the historic McKee Button Company factory into a modern office space for our Consumer Brands segment. Furthermore, we are set to inaugurate a new cat litter manufacturing facility this fall to cater to the market demand for our highly regarded World's Best Cat Litter. Since 2018, we have successfully completed four international acquisitions, allowing us to extend our presence in markets including Australia and the United Kingdom.
Our expertise in worldwide manufacturing and marketing not only applies to specialty ag-based food and industrial ingredients but also extends to pet consumer brands and food service products. Whether it involves delivering tailored solutions to our partners or providing safe, enjoyable products for everyday use, we prioritize scale, service, and precision in all that we do.
