All American Pet Company Inc (AAPT)

Add Delaware to the list of Nutrabars. Didn't take pictures but by now everyone knows Walmart carries Nutrabars - just adding another state.

Just got off the phone with Joel (first time I have called him). Good call in my opinion. Seemed genuine and forthright. I asked about AAPT ability to deliver bars for reorders from WM as well as any new customers. He said they have an inventory of thousands of bars and can turn around orders in 4 days. Bars are made by AAPT hourly employees at KSU (not by students) as KSU has the equipment as part of their AG school lab. KSU probably has a farm type of school to study crops, animals, etc. This sounds reasonable to me since I know that many Universities have speciality labs. For example the University of Delaware has a wave action lab to study ocean currents and a solar energy lab building (that I worked with from private industry). So Universities do have a collaborative relationship with private entities. Production is currently at 1/3 capacity and can ramp up to meet demand to keep products fresh. If needed, they can operate 2 shifts 7 days a week to meet demand. Joel also said they just got a new contract with a national convenience store, but couldn't name it at this time. PR news to follow about new contracts as well as results from Pet Expo in Orlando.
