MISHAWAKA — The new owners of the United Petfood plant are looking into ways to expand its operations while ensuring they are good neighbors by monitoring the odor abatement equipment used in its operations.

Amanda Turnwald, the Mishawaka plant operations director, spoke Thursday night to the neighborhood meeting of 1st District Common Council member Dale “Woody” Emmons. She stepped in to address the meeting for Elodie Fleury, vice president for North and South America, who was away on business but had addresses Emmons’ October meeting.

While not going into detail, she said the company is exploring capital improvements to both the plant property and to the building at Cleveland Avenue and 11th Street that is owned by United.
