High-quality ingredients for responsible pet owners

Pets have long been more than just companions—they are full-fledged members of the family. This emotional bond is increasingly reflected in the choice of pet food. Today's consumers place great value on quality, health, and sustainability. Pet food is no longer just functional feed, but an expression of care and responsibility.

Food-grade quality for pet food

Food-grade raw materials are suitable for many applications in pet food. Our comprehensive portfolio offers solutions for improving taste, texture, protein and fiber content, fat content, and pH regulation. We rely on proven ingredients as well as innovative alternatives, including phosphates and phosphate-free starch-based solutions.

Appearance as a quality feature

Visual perception also plays a key role: an appealing color enhances the perceived taste. Thanks to the natural colors offered by our partner Sun, we offer a wide range of colorants – from classic beta-carotene to spirulina-based green tones.
