Following their merger, this pair of super premium pet food and treat co-manufacturers has unified under a new name.

Paul Wagstaff will focus on developing the company’s innovation portfolio and managing consumer product marketing following the company’s acquisition of American Nutrition, Inc.

Together, the companies could produce one billion lbs of pet food per year.

The transaction creates one of the largest independent manufacturers of super premium pet food in the US.

The co-manufacturer, based in Utah, provided pet food to eight pet rescue organizations across the state.

Steven Colopy has been promoted from director of management information systems to vice president of management information systems/business intelligence.

Doug Hansen will oversee manufacturing at the company’s three U.S.A.-based production facilities.
