The Nutriment Company (TNC) continues its strong end-of-year momentum with the acquisition of Antos, a leading Dutch distributor and developer of high-quality pet treats, according to a press release. TNC's ninth acquisition in 2025 marks another step in the company's continued expansion as one of Europe's fastest-growing suppliers of high-quality, natural pet nutrition.

Founded over 35 years ago, Antos has built a trusted reputation for responsibly producing safe, high-quality snacks. According to the release, Antos’ philosophy of focusing on the needs of pets and their owners, prioritising animal well-being and continuously developing ingredients and recipes is closely aligned with TNC's mission to offer natural and biologically appropriate pet food across Europe.

Antos operates a large, modern logistics centre in the Netherlands, which TNC is planning to utilise as a strategic hub in the Benelux region.

A strategic move in a rapidly growing category

The acquisition accelerates TNC's expansion in the snack segment – one of the fastest-growing areas of pet food. Through Antos, TNC gains access to a broad network of retailers and distributors, enabling the group to rapidly and efficiently expand its premium snack offering in the region.

Antos’ extensive, high-quality range, developed in collaboration with a global network of specialist manufacturers, adds depth and diversity to TNC's portfolio, the press release continues. The companies' shared commitment to natural ingredients, responsible sourcing and strict quality standards strengthens TNC's ability to appeal to discerning pet owners who expect transparency and trust in the integrity of the products they choose.
