The company’s key segments — dog food, cat food and pet treats — all reported double-digit sales growth over the quarter.

Alejandro “Alex” Cedeno has been appointed to senior vice president of R&D at Mars Pet Nutrition North America.

Price increases supported sales growth for its pet food and treat brands in the face of continued supply chain challenges.

Inflated costs and supply chain disruptions continue to affect net pricing in pet and other categories.

Net sales for the pet segment suffered from higher costs, supply chain challenges and recent divestitures.

The new treats will fall under the brand’s existing product lines.

The company will build a new facility in Indiana, on top of its recent acquisition of a former J.M. Smucker Co. plant in Kansas.

Diamond Pet Foods, Inc. will acquire the former Smucker’s business, along with a manufacturing facility in Kansas.

Supply chain challenges adversely affected segment profit in the second quarter.

The company shared its first quarter fiscal 2022 earnings on Aug. 26.
