KANSAS CITY—SubTropolis, the giant underground business park that has helped developer Hunt Midwest earn record-setting profits, continues to expand, and has emerged as a leading logistics location for the Kansas City's Animal Health Corridor, a concentration of more than 300 animal health companies in the metro area. Over the past 12 months, the complex has announced three animal health expansions.

In April, Virbac Corp., the world's 8th largest independent veterinary pharmaceutical company, began consolidating its North American product warehousing and distribution operations in SubTropolis. Based in Carros, France, Virbac joins existing animal health tenants Ceva Animal Health and IodiTech Inc., bringing the industry's footprint in SubTropolis to a quarter million square feet.

“By bringing processes and people together at this Kansas City facility, we are boosting collaboration and efficiency within our manufacturing operations,” says Paul R. Hays, Virbac president and chief executive officer. “A SubTropolis location will help Virbac better align itself within the animal health corridor.”
