OUR LEGACY
Feed Products and Service Company (FP&S) is committed to providing excellent, cost-effective products, services and
solutions to our clients. Our infrastructure of plants and warehouses provide more than 500,000 square feet of bulk
and bag storage. In addition to long-standing relationships with transportation specialists, our growing fleet of
company owned tractor trailers and our own private rail fleet of more than 100 hopper cars allow us to expedite
orders and provide the highest level of customer service.
Animal feed manufacturers, pet food manufacturers, distributors and integrated swine, dairy, and poultry companies
are all part of our diverse customer base. Our goal is to help customers achieve their business goals, including obtaining
raw materials for their products at the most competitive prices in the market. Our staff members are experienced and
knowledgeable problem-solvers. Customers benefit not only from their detailed understanding of product properties
but also their familiarity with distribution methods. As a result, orders arrive as expected, when expected.
FP&S has a long history of personal service and superior feed
products. Our decades-long relationships with many customers
started with Earl Fallin in 1945 when he founded the company
with a patented process for producing dicalcium feed phosphate.
Raised on a dairy farm and educated with a Master’s degree in
both chemical and mechanical engineering, Earl had a unique
perspective on the potential for improving animal nutrition by
adding minerals and other nutrients to their feed. As an animal
nutritionist with one of the leading farmers’ cooperatives in
the midwest, Mr. Fallin zeroed in on the vital role played by
calcium phosphate. Further work led to his patent for dicalcium
phosphate, a staple product in the animal feed industry.
Mr. Fallin’s pioneering efforts caught the attention of a leading
phosphate production company and laid the foundation of a
partnership to manufacture PURA-PHOS, his branded product.
As its champion and as a sales representative for other phosphate
products, Mr. Fallin came to be known as “Mr. Phosphate” over
the course of his distinguished career.
Within two decades of patenting PURA-PHOS, Mr. Fallin had
expanded FP&S and its Granite City, Illinois, pilot plant into
a nationally recognized mineral supply, technical sales and
marketing company. In 1980, Earl’s eldest son, Greg Fallin joined
the company full-time. His familiarity with the family business
and training in agricultural economics accelerated FP&S’ growth
as it added complementary minerals, buffers and amino acids to
the product line and launched global sourcing initiatives. Today
a third generation Fallin, Gregory Fallin II continues the legacy.
OUR COMPANY
Following through on our commitment to the feed industry and food safety, we continue to reinvest in our infrastructure to ensure our customers that we will provide them with high quality, competitively priced products, and just as important, peace of mind.

LOGISTICS: RIVER, ROAD AND RAIL
WAREHOUSE BLENDING AND PACKAGING FACILITIES
Since 1986, when Greg Fallin became FP&S’ chief executive
officer, the company has made the transition from a sales agency
to a full-line distributor with a strategic warehouse system and
integrated river, road and rail shipping network. It has turned
industry trends like feed company consolidation, greater demand
for efficiency in the animal agriculture supply chain and
automated processes into growth opportunities.
The FP&S story is one of steady progress, built on the defining
principle of value-added customer service. That business model
has led to development of distinct capabilities in material
handling, transloading, warehousing, packaging and blending
and container expediting and brokerage.
Customers can depend on FP&S for reliable on-time delivery
because we control distribution from the time the product is
sourced until the order is completed. Our infrastructure stretches
from ocean shipping arrangements to rivers, roads and rail
systems in North America. With this reach we seek out the
most cost-effective shipping routes and pass those savings along
to customers in the form of competitive pricing. When customers’
timetables call for accelerated delivery or special shipping
instructions, we are able to accommodate those needs
because we have strong and long-standing relationships
with logistic companies.
Whether the customer needs one pallet of a particular feed
ingredient or a rail car’s worth … whether the delivery arrives
by barge, train or truck … whether the raw material originated
in the United States or halfway around the world … FP&S
remains committed to meeting the customer’s need at the
most competitive price.
Strategically placed warehouses and significant investments
in material handling and packaging capabilities add to the
effectiveness of our distribution system. FP&S owns 500,000
square feet of warehouse space in addition to storage at other
strategic locations around North America. Our warehouses play
a key role in customer service. Deliberate placement underscores
our commitment to be able to meet customers’ quality and
delivery specifications.
The ample space and professional management of our
warehouse system has made FP&S a valued partner for both
customers and suppliers. Within our warehouse system are
facilities that can accept container-size shipments and break
them into amounts to match customer orders, whether they
want bulk shipments or bags. Suppliers store products with us
because they trust us to maintain ingredient quality and provide
easy access when they need their material. They also have the
assurance of certified food safety.
