PETFOOD

Kormotech aims to understand each market, identify the needs of local consumers, and build long-term partnerships

The distinction makes Royal Canin’s Shanghai plant the first Mars facility and first pet food plant worldwide to receive the recognition.

New format delivers science-backed, triple benefits and is available at pet speciality retailers beginning July 2026.

The facility effectively doubles the company’s output to service the pet food industry across Australasia and Southeast Asia

The product range was developed in response to consumer research commissioned by Greenies.

In 2025, Mars expanded its climate-smart agriculture portfolio to 77 projects across 26 countries and 12 crops.

Scott Morris will be succeeded by Nicki Baty, the company’s current chief operating officer (COO).

The startup will use this capital to expand into major UK retailers, explore the US market, and develop LeanPaws.

The new facility will employ approximately 96 people, helping to further the local economy in Muscatine.

Operations at the facility are expected to begin by the end of 2027.
