Waukee-Based SyrVet Sold, to Move Out of State

Waukee-based SyrVet has been purchased and the new owner plans to eventually move the veterinary instrument business out of state, the Des Moines Register reports.

Neogen Corp., an animal and food safety company with global operations, said SyrVet would continue to operate from Waukee during the transition, “but ultimately product engineering, manufacturing, and distribution would be relocated to Neogen facilities in Lansing, Mich., and Lexington, Ky.,” according to the Register.

The story did not say how many jobs would be affected.

SyrVet was started in 1987 by Daniel Klein, the Register said, and sells livestock handling products, supplies for artificial insemination, and tack products for the equine market.
