Schubert expands business in the pet food sector in North America
Flexible pet food packaging technology helps manufacturers package a range of sizes and flavors with one single-source system
Schubert North America, a subsidiary of the German Schubert Group, has expanded its pet food customer base in Canada and the U.S. During the 2022 Pet Food Forum in Kansas City, May 2-4, 2022, the company debuted its portfolio to a broad audience of visitors from not only Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, but also other countries from across the globe. The forum was a suitable platform to exchange best practices with other suppliers from the pet food industry.
Recently the pet food industry has seen significant growth in North America. During the pandemic, families and individuals increasingly opted for pet adoption or purchases, with cats and dogs being the most popular choices. A new dog owner usually becomes a pet food customer for an average of 10 years. As a natural result, pet food manufacturers recorded a higher demand in pet food sales, having to double or even triple their production, requiring process optimization and automation.
