NATURAL CHEM GROUP, LLC

New Agri-Industrial Plants Using Proprietary Process

Natural Chem Group, LLC, plans to develop and operate plants using its proprietary process for the production of natural value-added feed supplements and natural chemical products, such as glycerine, from renewable agricultural resources. Natural Chem also will commercialize other renewable products produced with innovative value-added processes it and its affiliated companies develop in the future. Natural Chem's main office is located in Houston, Texas. Natural Chem is headed by Robert J. Salazar, Esq., Carlos R. Castro, Esq., and Carter B. Conlin, P.E. Messrs. Salazar and Castro are both graduates of Stanford Law School while Mr. Conlin holds Bachelors and Masters degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of Southern California.

 

Value-Added Agricultural Products

The plants developed by Natural Chem will utilize the Natural Chem Process that was developed by its research and development staff. Utilizing the Natural Chem Process, Natural Chem will focus on the production of renewable, grain derived, value-added products. Initially, Natural Chem will produce natural vegetable glycerine and its Nutri-Ferm™ natural feed supplements which are targeted at the animal nutrition market. The Nutri-Ferm™ products have unique nutrient profiles and have demonstrated superior performance in numerous feeding trials with improved weight gain and feed conversion in livestock and poultry. They have proven in university and private research studies to have a positive impact on immune system function without the highly disfavored use of antibiotics as growth promoters.

Strategic Alliances

Natural Chem plans to collaborate with existing dry mill and wet mill corn processing plants in the development of its projects. Such collaboration may take the form of a long term supply contract for raw materials, such as syrup, which greatly reduces processing costs for these plants.

Plants To Be Developed In Corn Belt States

Why it makes sense Natural Chem is now exploring several opportunities to develop plants in corn belt states such as Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Plans are under development for the first Natural Nutrients Plant to built in Stanley, Wisconsin and the first Natural Chem Glycerine Plant to be built in Corning, Iowa. Future plant locations in other states are under review.

Plants To Produce Sustainable,
Value-Added Natural Products

Think Natural! Natural Chem has successfully developed its proprietary Natural Chem Process for the production of natural products that are poised to be part of the solution to global concerns about misuse of antibiotics in animal feed as well as concerns about the use of animal products in a number of personal care products such as soaps, shampoos and toothpaste. Nutri-Ferm™ feed supplements have demonstrated natural growth promoting qualities, improving both weight gain and feed conversion in poultry and livestock, in extensive university and private research studies.The first commercial scale production is expected in 4th Quarter 2009 in Iowa and Wisconsin. In the interim, Natural Chem will continue market development production of its products when necessary.
