National project names Champion Petfoods one of top 70 employers in Alberta

Edmonton Examiner - Champion Petfoods LP, which was founded in Morinville, was named one of Alberta's top 70 employers of 2016 by the Canada's 100 Top Employers project. This isn't the first time the company has been noticed by government groups. Last year, it received the Premier's Award of Distinction. In April of 2014, the federal government announced it would give the University of Alberta $1.6 million to purchase and develop a single-screw extruder and establish an Animal Nutrition and Ingredient Development Program led by Ruurd Zijlstra. Champion Petfoods was one of several businesses that partnered with government groups and helped the fund grow to over $2.7 million.
