Quality & R&D

Analyses in our quality control laboratories make every stage of production measurable and traceable. With over 7,000 parameter analyses daily, more than 168,000 monthly and over 2 million quality checks a year, we monitor our processes continuously.

This comprehensive control system does more than maintain existing standards: we also use the data we gather to keep improving our products and processes. In this way we regularly assess everything from raw material characteristics to production parameters, and from product performance to finished-goods standards.

Assurance that the same standards are kept across production batches.

In our R&D we follow changing consumer expectations, the different life stages of pets and developments in the international pet food industry. By working on new ingredients, protein sources, textures, production techniques and functional options, we continuously develop our portfolio.

With a development approach that runs from laboratory work through pilot runs to production, we evaluate quality, palatability, nutritional performance and manufacturability together. Alongside our own brands, we also provide product development solutions tailored to the needs of different markets for our private label partners.

We back our production and quality management systems with international standards and certifications. Our processes are managed in line with ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management, ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management, ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management, ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management, GMP Quality and BRCGS Food Safety standards.

We regard quality, food safety, environmental responsibility and safe working conditions as inseparable from how we manufacture, and we keep developing our processes in line with international requirements. With the necessary export approvals in place, we deliver our products to markets in different regions reliably and to high standards.
