Atwood Resources Inc. (ARI) is a third generation family owned and operated business that evolved from a small deadstock collection company first purchased by the Smith family back in 1968. With the discovery of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), (aka Mad Cow Disease) in 2003, ARI (known then as Atwood Pet Food) was forced to abandon the pet food market, and restructure with a focus on renewable energy markets
