Engineered with twin-screw extrusion technology, vacuum coating Systems, and certified under European IFS Food v8 and FEDIAF guidelines for bulk distribution.
Operating dual state-of-the-art production facilities across Spain and Ukraine, delivering unmatched stability, shorter supply chain cycles, and strict adherence to European feed safety laws.
We handle everything internally—from raw material qualification and nutritional R&D to extrusion, vacuum enrobing, and final multilingual export packaging. This single-contact system eliminates middleman margins and operational delays.
Every commercial recipe is formulated by our staff animal nutritionists and audited by licensed veterinary specialists. Analytical testing verifies nutrient bioavailability, digestive transit times, and palatability performance.
With processing sites in Spain and Ukraine, our global brand partners benefit from dual-sourcing insurance, lower transportation tariffs within the EU, and optimized logistics across North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
An in-depth analysis for professional pet food procurement managers, private label brand owners, and distributor purchasing officers.
Extruded kibble manufacturing relies on precise thermo-mechanical processing. Modern twin-screw extruders provide synchronized shear control, enabling optimal starch gelatinization (exceeding 90%) without destroying heat-sensitive amino acids such as lysine and methionine.
By carefully regulating moisture, temperature (typically 110°C to 135°C), and barrel pressure, our process yields consistent kibble cell structure, density, and crispness—preventing dusting during high-speed packaging lines and transport.
Traditional surface spraying leaves fats and liquid digest palatants on the exterior of the kibble, leading to oxidation, greasy bag feel, and inconsistent flavor distribution. Vacuum coating technology solves this by pulling air out of the kibble's internal pore network.
When lipid compounds, natural poultry liver hydrolysates, or fresh fish oils are introduced under vacuum, they penetrate deep into the core of the kibble matrix. This guarantees higher energy density, superior taste response, and prolonged shelf stability against rancidity.
Unlike corporate consolidators driven strictly by margin trimming, our family-owned facility approaches kibble extrusion with an unwavering commitment to animal biology. Every new production run undergoes pilot testing, feeding panel validation, and direct quality oversight by the company's founders before commercial scale-up.
Our dual-plant footprint allows private label partners to pivot between cost-optimized standard diets and ultra-premium single-protein or freeze-dried hybrid formulations with minimal transition friction.

Key market shifts driving the pet food industry and how global OEM/ODM manufacturers are adapting recipes to meet evolving consumer expectations.
Consumers increasingly seek raw nutritional benefits without the biosecurity risks associated with unprocessed frozen foods. Extruded kibble coated with pulverized freeze-dried meat tissues or blended with dried raw kibbles represents the fastest-growing super-premium market segment in North America and Europe.
Our factory line integrates high-precision post-extrusion powder coating, binding nutrient-dense freeze-dried liver, chicken, or salmon powders securely to each kibble piece.
Food sensitivities among urban pet populations have heightened demand for single-animal protein diets. Managing cross-contact during mass production requires strict allergen controls and verified wash-down protocols.
Our European plants utilize validated CIP (Clean-In-Place) flushing routines and PCR DNA analytical screening to guarantee zero cross-contamination for single-protein duck, lamb, salmon, or insect-based kibbles.
While traditional commercial kibbles relied heavily on corn, wheat, or soy, next-generation brands prioritize functional, low-glycemic carbs like sweet potatoes, red lentils, chickpea starch, and tapioca. These ingredients foster steady blood glucose control and improve stool quality.
Proper extrusion parameters are paramount when processing legume starches to minimize gas formation and optimize fiber fermentation in the colon.
Regulatory mandates such as EU Regulation 767/2009 and revised packaging waste directives are pushing brands toward 100% recyclable mono-PE or PP laminates. Achieving effective oxygen ($O_2$) and moisture vapor transmission rates (MVTR) without aluminum foil layers requires specialized barrier coatings.
We work with global bag converters to supply high-barrier mono-material recyclable bags featuring press-to-close tactile zippers.
Essential operational, regulatory, and technical responses for procurement directors and brand managers looking to partner with our kibble manufacturing facilities.
Our standard starting MOQ for fully customized extruded kibble runs begins at one full production batch (typically 2 to 3 metric tons per SKU). For established baseline or turn-key formulas using our stock bag structures with custom printed labels, initial orders can start at one full pallet per SKU (approx. 720kg–1,000kg). Specific MOQs are finalized during the initial technical brief based on raw material availability and packaging type.
Custom recipe formulation moves from initial brief to finished physical sample in 4 to 6 weeks. This timeline includes nutritional matrix balancing against FEDIAF/AAFCO guidelines, raw material sourcing, pilot extrusion trials, laboratory analysis (protein, fat, ash, moisture, heavy metals, microbial panel), and in-house palatability checks overseen by our veterinary team.
Our processing facilities in Spain and Ukraine operate under strict IFS Food v8 (Higher Level) protocols, comprehensive HACCP systems, GMP+ feed safety assurance, and ISO 14001 environmental management. All product labeling, claims, and nutritional profiles comply with EU Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 and FEDIAF Nutritional Guidelines for Complete and Complementary Pet Food.
Yes. We manage full export documentation services, including official EU Veterinary Health Certificates, Batch Certificates of Analysis (CoA), TRACES system registrations, Certificates of Free Sale, and multilingual packaging proofing. We routinely ship Ex-Works (EXW), FCA, FOB, or DAP to distributors across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas.
Our combined dual-factory capacity exceeds 3,500 metric tons of high-grade dry kibble per month. Standard repeat production order lead times range between 14 to 21 business days from packaging receipt and artwork validation, ensuring reliable inventory cycles for fast-growing pet food brands.
