BURLESON, TEXAS — Ingredient supplier Sadot Group Inc. recently announced that its subsidiary, Sadot Canada Inc., has entered into a management services agreement with Big Sky Milling Inc., a supplier of pulses and specialty crop ingredients to the North American pet food industry. According to Sadot Group, this partnership sets both companies up to keep up with rising consumer demand and the steadily growing industry. 

Under the agreement, Sadot Canada will provide full-scale management services to Big Sky Milling, supporting its operations and driving growth across its business. In return for its services, Sadot Canada will earn a monthly service fee. The agreement also grants Sadot access to Big Sky Milling’s facility in Bowden, Alberta, for transloading and toll processing activities in support of its growing export operations, providing access to a strategically located facility in a key growing region in Canada.

Generating benefits and growth opportunities for both companies, the agreement allows Sadot Group to earn its monthly management fee and procurement commissions, while Big Sky Milling will generate toll processing revenue from Sadot’s export transactions. 

“This is a win-win collaboration,” said Catia Jorge, chief executive officer of Sadot Group. “Sadot expands its supply chain capabilities and export infrastructure in a key geography, while Big Sky Milling is expected to benefit from an additional stream of processing revenue and comprehensive experienced management support.” 

According to Sadot Group, Bowden — the area in which Big Sky Milling’s facility is located — offers a key strategic advantage, with proximity to major crop production zones and access to highly competitive logistics lanes serving markets across North America and globally. The facility also features capacity for future expansion, making it a strong partner for scalable growth in both the pet food ingredients business, and in exports for international trade.
