Golden Pet Brands has completed the acquisition of the Petsource petood production facility in Seward, Nebraska, with the transaction closing on May 8, 2026. Approximately 100 Petsource employees have joined Golden Pet Brands as part of the deal, and production operations at the facility continue without interruption.
With the addition of the Seward site, Golden Pet Brands now operates two manufacturing facilities in the United States. The facility will exclusively produce petfood and treats for the company’s portfolio brands, including Dr. Marty Pets and Ultimate Pet Nutrition.
The 170,000-square-foot facility was originally built in 2019 and expanded between 2021 and 2022. It holds SQF (Safe Quality Food) certification and is registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. The site is capable of producing a wide range of petfood and treat formats.
“Congratulations to our manufacturing team for being recognized this year by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as a Top Workplace and earning the Best Managers award — a reflection of the strong culture and engagement they have built. We are pleased to welcome the Petsource team to Golden Pet Brands,” said Apu Mody, CEO of Golden Pet Brands.
“The Petsource team has built a high-quality production operation in Seward, and we are pleased to welcome approximately 100 of their employees to the Golden Pet Brands family and excited to be part of the Seward community. We’ve met with city officials and couldn’t be more pleased with the warm reception,” said Lucas Koele, VP of Manufacturing at Golden Pet Brands.
