KENT Corporation Renames to KENT WORLDWIDE
Founded in 1927, the Family Business's New Logo Connects Heritage & Future
MUSCATINE, Iowa, May 27, 2025 We're just a few years away from celebrating 100 years since our founding as Kent Feeds. Over the decades, we've grown from a single-family business into a global company, expanding across food, beverage and ingredients, agriculture, and pet care. That growth has been intentional—and successful. Now, we're taking the next step: uniting our diverse businesses under one global brand—KENT WORLDWIDE.
"The name KENT WORLDWIDE carries our story forward," said Gage Kent, Chairman & CEO. "Since 1927, KENT WORLDWIDE has been guided by a spirit of innovation. From humble beginnings in animal nutrition to becoming a global, diversified enterprise, our journey reflects nearly a century of purposeful growth and enduring values."
The subtle change draws from our past—"Kent Corporation" and our original name, "Kent Feeds"- honoring the family behind it all. That same family still leads us today with the passion, ingenuity, curiosity and drive that shaped our company from the very beginning. More than just a name, KENT WORLDWIDE reflects who we are and where we're headed. It's a symbol of our global presence—and our commitment to creating value for our customers around the world as we look toward the next 100 years.
Exciting growth is happening at KENT WORLDWIDE. We are nearly complete on a multi-year adaptive reuse project, restoring the McKee Button Company factory in Muscatine, Iowa, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, into offices for our Consumer Brands. This fall, we will open a new cat litter manufacturing plant, to make more highly-in-demand World's Best Cat Litter. Beginning in 2018, we have made four international acquisitions, expanding our manufacturing and marketing presence to Australia and the United Kingdom.
Today, we bring worldwide manufacturing and marketing expertise to both specialty ag-based food and industrial ingredients; and to food and pet consumer brands and food service. Whether it's delivering precisely specified solutions for our partners or offering safe, joyful products for everyday life, we combine scale with service—and precision with pride.
