Kemin Industries

A Global Vision Rooted in Iowa

Kemin Industries, a global bioscience company specializing in molecular solutions that enhance nutrition and health for humans and animals, partnered with FEH Design to create its new worldwide headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa. This state-of-the-art facility reflects Kemin’s deep connection to its Iowa roots while showcasing the company’s innovative spirit and commitment to its employees and community.

The headquarters expands on Kemin’s Molecular Advancement Center Research Lab, offering a variety of workspaces tailored to diverse needs—from focused research and writing areas to interactive environments designed to encourage collaboration across business units. Situated along the ML King Parkway corridor, the design takes full advantage of its prominent location, providing striking views of the State Capitol and serving as a gateway to Des Moines.

As a landmark project, Kemin’s headquarters not only highlights the company’s leadership in bioscience but also stands as a symbol of progress and innovation welcoming visitors to Iowa’s capital city.
