Wholesaler Su-Bridge Pet Supplies has acquired four pet food brands from United Petfood UK Limited.
The Autarky, Chudleys, Gelert, and Gusto brands were previously acquired by United Petfood from Gold Line Feeds UK in December 2022. As part of the agreement, United Petfood will continue to manufacture the brands.
The acquisition ensures continuity for current stockists and end customers while enabling Su-Bridge to enhance distribution, marketing, and product development efforts, the wholesaler maintained.
Ian Manning, managing director at Su-Bridge Pet Supplies, said: “We are excited to bring Autarky, Chudleys, Gelert, and Gusto into the Su-Bridge family.
“Each brand has a strong heritage and loyal customer base. We look forward to investing in their future and supporting both current and new retail partners with an even broader and more competitive offering.”
Belgian-based family business United Petfood produces dry and wet petfood and treats for cats and dogs for brand owners and private label customers, with production facilities in 12 different countries, including three in the UK, and a global turnover of more than €1.3 billion.
