International petfood producer, United Petfood, announced the acquisition of the British manufacturer Cambrian Pet Foods. The acquisition strengthens the position of United Petfood as full-service private label Pet Food producer and gives customers access to a complete range of inhouse made products.
According to United Petfood’s board of directors, “It is our goal to establish long-term relationships with our customers and be their preferred partner for the production of private label dry & wet pet food, biscuits and snacks. The acquisition of Cambrian Pet Foods allows us to extend our product range and be a one-stop solution for our customers. Rather than being merely a production partner, we want to guide our customers and work together to achieve success in their market by sharing our knowledge and creating high-quality products.”
According to Cambrian Pet Foods’ Board of Directors: “It has been a genuine pleasure partnering with our colleagues, customers and suppliers to help the company grow and develop within our communities and the UK Pet Trade.”
This takeover strengthens United Petfood’s position within the pet food manufacturing market. In 2019 United Petfood entered the wet pet food market segment with the opening of a single serve wet pet food plant for pouches in Radom, Poland. Thanks to the second wet pet food factory in Llangadog, United Petfood is broadening its product offering and will now also be able to produce wet Pet Food in trays and cans.
With three additional production plants, United Petfood Group operates now out of 17 pet food facilities situated in 8 different European countries. The takeover is in line with the strategy of United Petfood to reinforce and grow the business. The UK factories also bring additional experience, capacity and technological possibilities to the group.
