A few short miles from the bluffs of the Minnesota
River, sits the international head quarters of a dynamic manufacturing
company linked intricately into the world's food chain. Quali Tech®,
located in Chaska, Minnesota, was founded in 1967 and is now solely
owned by Del Ploen, one of the founders, and his four sons. All
of the Ploen's are actively involved in the current businesses.
Quali Tech® has been competing successfully with
the giants of the agricultural industry for more than 30 years and
are a leading blender of vitamins, trace minerals and drug components
for the animal feed industry. Combining these discrete ingredients
led the company into the development of new techniques for blendability
and formulation. Through the years, sophisticated processes, highly
skilled technical staff and development capabilities were added;
and today the firm provides product research, development and manufacturing
to its clients worldwide.
