Premium white-label pet food manufacturer for German retailers
The Petfood Company manufactures private-label wet pet food for German retail brands. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward industrial automation—Siemens PLCs (S7-300 through S7-1500), TIA Portal, WinCC, Profibus, and PROFINET dominate, with SAP anchoring ERP—indicating a production-first organization. Current hiring focuses on manufacturing roles alongside machine optimization projects, paired with explicit pain points around OT security and IFS/HACCP compliance, suggesting the company is scaling production while hardening operational controls.
The Petfood Company GmbH manufactures wet pet food (wet food, premium canned products, dog food, cat food) under white-label arrangements for retail brands across Germany. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Bocholt (North Rhine-Westphalia), the company positions itself as one of Germany's most modern pet food producers, competing on production quality and food safety certification. The business model is contract manufacturing: retailers outsource production to The Petfood Company under private-label agreements. The organization spans 51–200 employees, with active roles in manufacturing and engineering roles as the company scales production capacity and optimizes line operations.
