EPMI started as a dream 18 years ago. Tony and Kristi Anderson purchased 10 emu chicks with the intention of just being a hobby. After the market began to increase they realized there was something special about these birds but did not know exactly what it was. They had a purpose on this earth and Tony and Kristi wanted to find out what they were. They decided to fly to Australia to learn more about the birds. While in Australia, they realized what was important about this bird was not just on the outside but on the inside as well. The emu has many hidden values. The fat from the bird, once refined properly yields many healing properties. After learning more about how to refine the oil and how to properly raise the birds, they decided to put their management skills to work and entered into the emu industry.

Our motto at EPMI has been the driver behind everything we do, “You Cannot Negotiate Quality.” Without quality birds and a quality management team, succeeding or reaching goals would be impossible. We started with the 10 chicks in 1988 and currently raise 1,500-2,500 chicks yearly. We consider ourselves the only start to finish Emu Products Company in the world. We own and operate a Complete Incubation and Chick Hatchery, State of the Art Refining Facility, USDA Processing Facility and manufacture over 80 different products with an FDA approved and controlled laboratory.

Presently we have over 3,000 affiliates that work closely with EPMI in marketing the products we produce in the United States and Abroad. With our farm management tools, we have been able to produce consistent growth and production from our regional farm affiliates located throughout the U.S. Currently we have put together a National Advertising Campaign, which involves over 180 emu producers. With the funds received, we have been able to advertise and promote all four facets of the emu: Emu Oil, Emu Meat, Emu Leather and Emu Pet Foods. This has proven to be very successful as the consumer becomes more aware of the values in Emu Oil.

Our sales over the past several years have continued to increase at an incredible pace. We have surpassed our yearly goals for 5 consecutive years and striving for a 6th. We look forward to rapid growth in the future. We believe one of the main reasons we’re in this position is because we have little to no debt. We have worked on a method of paying as we go and plan to stay this way to keep our pricing competitive and always be a major player in the industry.

Advertising via info-mercials would be one of the next avenues for marketing our products. We feel with the high response of testimonials from those who use the product currently and the increasing awareness we’re seeing worldwide, consumer demand will consistently increase. Today’s society is becoming more health conscience and with the world leaning more towards all natural health foods and supplements we feel the demand for this GOD-sent product will monopolize in the years to come.
