The second quarter is all about growth for The Nutriment Company: with the acquisition of Graf Barf from CDS Hackner, a raw animal feed company, and a strategic partnership to establish a frozen food logistics centre. According to the company's press release, this will serve as a central hub for TNC's European logistics in the future.
Graf Barf produces easily portionable raw feed cubes and complete menus, among other things, in an IFS-certified production facility. "We are delighted to welcome the talented team at Graf Barf to the TNC family. Their commitment to quality and reliability has been evident from the outset, and their decades of experience in frozen logistics and production will raise our operational standards to a new level," explains Anders Kristiansen, CEO of The Nutriment Company.
With this acquisition, TNC aims to strengthen its geographical reach and complement its existing brand portfolio, which includes Barfgold, Dibo, Nutriment and Aniforte. According to TNC, this move will not only improve access to high-quality Barf products throughout Germany, but also pave the way for accelerated expansion into Switzerland and Austria.
In addition, TNC and CDS (the previous owner of Graf Barf) have entered into a strategic partnership to jointly establish a logistics centre for frozen goods and create a cross-brand one-stop shop offering throughout continental Europe.
