Cost Control: Keeping Tubs Affordable

Great People

Great customer service starts with great people, and CTI’s greatest strength is its team. From pre-mix to production, warehousing, transportation, and office support, each group works together to ensure consistent, high-quality hard cooked low-moisture molasses tubs. The pre-mix crew ensures accurate formulations, production teams maintain quality and uniformity, warehouse and transportation teams support efficiency and on-time delivery, and the office team coordinates communication and customer needs. CTI’s collaborative approach delivers made-to-order livestock tubs with dependable quality and dedicated customer service for every brand.

Quality, Sustainable Ingredients

CTI carefully sources every tub component to ensure top‑tier quality at a competitive cost, allowing the company to deliver a dependable, high‑value product at an affordable price. CTI incorporates sustainable inputs, many of which are by‑products from other industries, helping reduce the company’s overall environmental footprint. By sourcing these high‑quality by‑products, CTI not only minimizes waste but also keeps material costs down, allowing the company to deliver reliable, affordable products without compromising performance.

Consumption Control Equals Cost Control

Superior tubs start with high‑quality, full‑sugared beet molasses. While lower‑sugar alternatives are available at a cheaper cost, full‑sugared molasses cooks harder, giving farmers and ranchers better control over livestock consumption.

There are many ways to make a livestock tub, but CTI’s process is designed to create hard, long‑lasting tubs that perform when fed. Through a unique cooking method that reaches temperatures high enough to crystallize the sugars in the molasses, CTI produces a firm, durable tub that cattle consume in controlled, cost‑effective portions. CTI chooses to hard-cook its tubs to help farmers and ranchers manage consumption and get the most value from every CTI product.

CTI Systems

Every CTI tub starts in the dry ingredient shed at the CTI plant. CTI confidently stands behind every product because mixing tub ingredients in small batches keeps quality control in-house.

CTI tubs are manufactured around the clock, most days of the week. Because the majority of tubs are produced to order, each batch is tailored to meet specific customer needs ensuring the best fit for retailers and the best product for the end users.

At CTI, the commitment to quality extends beyond manufacturing to delivery. By operating in-house trucking for both ingredient hauling and finished product delivery, CTI maintains full control over scheduling, handling, and reliability. This integrated approach increases efficiency across the operation and allows CTI to respond quickly to customer needs.

CTI’s top-notch drivers are experienced professionals who take pride in their work and represent the company with courtesy and care at every stop. With a strong focus on customer service, they ensure products are delivered safely, accurately, and on time. Managing transportation internally allows CTI to streamline logistics, reduce delays, and provide dependable service, strengthening its ability to serve customers with consistency, flexibility, and confidence from production through delivery.
