European private label pet food producer United Petfood has acquired Northamptonshire manufacturer Gold Line Feeds.
Gold Line Feeds supplies about 20.000 tonnes of dry pet food each year across brands such as Autarky, Chudleys, Gusto and Trophy Pet Foods. United Petfood Group will take over the brands and customer base of the company, retaining production and distribution at their current sites but moving administrative functions to United Petfood UK.
United Petfood Group, founded in 1994 and based in Belgium, operates out of 20 pet food facilities situated in eight different European countries. The takeover is described as being “in line with the strategy of United Petfood to reinforce and grow the business”.
The group produces annually more than 700,000 tonnes of private label dry and wet pet food, biscuits and snacks, which are exported to more than 80 countries worldwide. Each recipe is 100% custom-made and manufactured in-house.
Gold Line Feeds Ltd was created in 2020 from Dodson & Horrell Ltd, with the original company founded 80 years ago.
