ISO 22000 · Made in the EU Directly engineered and manufactured within our European Union facilities. Each recipe is standardized for optimum digestion, high protein retention, and strict EU regulatory compliance.
In the contemporary global pet care market, pet owners have transitioned into pet parents. This cultural shift directly impacts B2B supply chains, elevating demand for human-grade raw material integrity, bio-available protein metrics, and rigorous quality control. For brand owners, importers, and retail chains, procuring dry pet kibble requires a manufacturing partner with verifiable technological capabilities, international quality credentials, and robust regulatory compliance.
As a primary European contract manufacturer operating out of Hungary (EU) with over 30 years of extrusion engineering history since 1993, our plant integrates advanced twin-screw thermo-extrusion lines, automated micro-ingredient dosing, and vacuum lipid infusion systems. Producing CE compliant, ISO 22000 certified, and veterinary-registered dry kibble, we serve brand owners across 30+ international destination markets.
Information Gain Insight: Modern kibble manufacturing is no longer restricted to basic caloric density. Strategic competitive advantage relies on controlling Specific Mechanical Energy (SME) during thermal extrusion to maximize starch gelatinization (>92%) while preserving thermosensitive bioactive compounds, essential fatty acids, and natural palatants.
Our dedicated Csévharaszt production site is engineered to fulfill demanding custom contract manufacturing briefs (OEM/ODM) across complete dry feeds, treats, and specialist veterinary diets.
Equipped with twin-screw extrusion equipment, our processing control system regulates barrel zone temperature profiles, screw RPM, and moisture addition. This ensures consistent kibble density, uniform porosity for vacuum coating, and optimized digestibility parameters across 4mm to 20mm kibble profiles.
Operating under rigorous HACCP guidelines, the facility is audited under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System standards. Products strictly comply with EU Regulation EC 767/2009 (feed labeling) and EC 183/2005 (feed hygiene), guaranteeing smooth customs verification across global borders.
Standard top-spraying methods fail to penetrate deep into dry kibble structures. Our plant utilizes advanced core-vacuum coating technology, drawing poultry fat, omega-3 rich fish oils, and enzymatic digest palatants directly into the internal porous matrix of the kibble.

Analyzing emerging consumer preferences, regulatory shifts, and commercial manufacturing methodologies shaping the future of contract manufacturing.
Incidence of canine and feline food sensitivities is accelerating globally. Buyers are prioritizing monoprotein formulations (e.g., pure duck, lamb, or insect meal) paired with non-conventional carbohydrate sources like pear pulp, tapioca, or sweet potato to reduce gut inflammation and cutaneous reactions.
Ethical consumer choices drive demand for eco-conscious pet foods. High-protein (22.5%+) vegan kibble formulated with synthetic amino acid fortification (L-Carnitine, Taurine, L-Lysine) provides complete daily nutrition for adult dogs while reducing carbon footprint impact by up to 60% compared to traditional beef formulations.
Integration of prebiotics (FOS, MOS), beet pulp, and specific insoluble fibres into dry kibbles enhances hindgut fermentation, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, and stool quality. Modern kibble contract manufacturing requires exact thermal processing to maintain prebiotic viability.
Essential technical, commercial, and regulatory details for importers, brand owners, and procurement directors evaluating factory partnerships.
Our manufacturing facility in Csévharaszt, Hungary operates strictly under an ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System. We hold official registration with the Hungarian competent veterinary authority for intra-EU trade and third-country export. Formulations, batch labeling, and analytical guarantees comply fully with European Union Feed Regulations (EC) No 767/2009 and hygiene standards (EC) No 183/2005.
Our standard baseline MOQ starts at 5 tonnes per recipe family for printed paper bags or 3-layer laminate barrier packaging. For specialized foil snack lines and treats, the baseline starts at 8 tonnes. We allow multi-SKU splits across common kibble recipe bases (e.g., varying bag sizes like 3kg, 10kg, 15kg of the same recipe), enabling new brand launches to maintain manageable inventory investment.
Yes. Our in-house animal nutritionists utilize an extensive library of over 80 pre-validated formulas and can adapt analytical profiles (protein, fat, fibre, ash), select specific single-protein sources (chicken, duck, lamb, salmon, vegan isolates), and adjust kibble geometry/color to match your target benchmark or competitive price point within 2 to 3 weeks.
For established repeat private label orders, production, packaging, quality batch testing, and dispatch loading typically take 3 to 4 weeks. Initial private label projects require 6 to 8 weeks to accommodate customized packaging cylinder/plate printing, packaging film production, label registration checks, and initial sample sign-offs.
Every incoming shipment of cereal, animal meal, and lipid oil undergoes near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic screening and laboratory moisture/protein/fat verification prior to silo discharge. Retained samples from every production run are cataloged for 18 months, guaranteeing complete traceability from raw material intake to final container loading.
We support multi-wall kraft paper bags with PE inner liners (1kg to 20kg), premium 3-layer high-barrier foil/laminate bags with resealable zippers or sliders (500g to 10kg), small snack pouches with euro-slots (60g to 500g), as well as industrial big-bag (800kg-1000kg) formats for bulk repackers.
Work directly with the manufacturing facility, eliminating broker markups. Direct contact with our technical team in Hungary ensures swift communication, technical transparency, and immediate resolution of packaging or formulation modifications.
Speed to market is essential. Our formulation laboratory creates custom kibble samples, evaluates shape stability, and provides full analytical lab reports within 14 working days of receiving your project specification.
Experienced in international export logistics, we arrange full truckloads (FTL), 20ft/40ft ocean containers, EUR palletization, phytosanitary paperwork, and official veterinary health documentation for seamless customs clearance worldwide.
