May 19, 2015 (Kay Dee, LLC) North Sioux City, SD – The animal nutrients business formerly run under third generation company Kay Flo, has been reorganized under a new name, Kay Dee, LLC.

A.W. Lohry founded Kay Dee Feed in 1928, which evolved into Kay Flo in the 1970’s. Eric Lohry, A.W. Lohry’s grandson, has acquired all assets of the animal nutrients business, which now encompasses a family of brands including Kay Dee Feed, UltraPhos, NF Protein, DPS and Nutraferma.

“We are excited to be able to build upon a long tradition of customer focus, product innovation and intensive research and development,” Lohry said. “Our single mission now will be to create technologically advanced and research-proven products for the animal feed industry.”

Kay Dee, LLC was formed in concurrence with the sale of Kay Flo, which was announced Monday, May 18, 2015, and will retain all related animal nutrient companies, product lines and facilities.
