Product development
INNOVATION, THE KEY TO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Our nutritionists are always on the lookout for innovative raw materials and additives. Based on the client’s specific requirements, we then use the selected ingredients to create a tailor-made blend. Prior to the production, the formula is tested in our lab and at animal test centres.
Our nutritionists develop your products based on the “Good Food Principle”, which means that for every new recipe, they keep in mind:
- The flavour of the product
- The digestibility of the product
- The health of the animal

Production
Due to our continuous investments in production sites, United Petfood is now one of the most technologically advanced and best-equipped pet food manufacturers in the world.
Our professional equipment allows us to incorporate large amounts of fresh meat into the food we produce. Thanks to the use of a vacuum coater, which distributes fats and oils evenly throughout the kibble, we are able to generate an outstanding palatability and flavour.
The production process, from receiving the raw materials to the delivery of the final product, is entirely automatic.
Everything runs in compliance with the GMP norms, among which the:
• Purchasing and supply of raw materials
• Reception and storage
• Quality control of raw materials
• Mixing and grinding
• Extrusion
• Quality control of extruded kibble
• Drying
• Vacuum core coater
• Cooling
• Packaging
Testing
At our production facilities, we use the most rigorous quality-management and food-safety systems, such as for example metal detectors, optical sorting and food analysis.
Our production facilities all come equipped with their own laboratories, which allows us to inspect both the raw materials as well as the finished products, thus ensuring the highest quality pet food.
Packaging
Your wishes - our mission
Our fully automated packaging lines are efficient, yet highly flexible. We pack under your brand name in any size or style you desire.
Sizes
Have your kibble packed in doypacks, boxes, cans, trays small or big bags: anything is possible!
Bags can be sealed in different ways, such as pinching or stitching. We can even provide several types of display packaging at your request.
Pallets
Palletisation is fully automated and each pallet is provided with a digital identifier in order to ensure traceability throughout the production process.
During the packaging process, each bag or box passes through a metal detector and undergoes a weight check. To avoid colour contamination, we’re also sure to make use of an optical sorting device.
Customized mixes
Products can be packed by colour or by customized mix. You prefer boxes, plastic buckets or bags? At your service!
No idea is too crazy: our in-house design team will be very happy to help you make your vision come to life!
