Voermol’s proud history of innovation and growth started in 1958 with a vision that animal feeds could be manufactured from molasses and bagasse, both by-products of the Tongaat Sugar Mill which is situated next to Voermol Feeds at Maidstone, KwaZulu-Natal. At the end of January 1962, the first bags of Voermol Meal came off the production line and Voermol became the first company in Africa and possibly the world, to successfully commercialise a combination of molasses and bagasse, thus converting molasses from a difficult to handle product into one which could be conveniently fed alone or mixed into other feeds.
