Transitioning to In-House Pet Food Manufacturing
The brand previously relied on third-party manufacturers for dry pet food production. This limited production flexibility and made it harder to manage minimum order quantities, product launches, and recipe confidentiality. The customer wanted an in-house solution that could provide 800–1000kg/h production capacity with a compact layout for limited factory space.
