Here to Serve Your Needs
Avantis is located in the Heartland at the crossroads of four major interstates. This affords us the ability to ship quickly and efficiently throughout the US. Our on-site rail and extensive bulk storage capacity enables us to enjoy the cost effectiveness of rail, yet provide our customers with just in time deliveries. Avantis is invested in its own private truck fleet, which includes bulk, multi-compartment bulk and dry van. Our fleet is operated by Avantis employees, enabling us to deliver premium customer service all the way to your dock! We welcome the opportunity to demonstrate the Avantis advantage by providing you ingredients, private label or custom packaged products, pre-blends or technical support!
Moving Forward
We continue to evolve through a sustained focus on our core strengths, yet, at the same time, we keep an openness to diversity, opportunity, change, and sustainability. At Avantis we will continue to expand our services through the addition of new blending vessels and capabilities to meet our customers’ demands. And, in 2023, we will achieve GFSI certification under the FSSC 22000 scheme.
