The facility will produce up to 500,000 tonnes of pet food annually, with 95% of output exported to nearly 50 countries.
The new products offer nutritional options tailored to pets’ ages, sizes, and life stages.
Thailand’s fast-growing pet food industry and position as the world’s second-largest exporter make it a key growth market for Purina.
The pet food factory will add roughly 30,000 metric tons of annual wet pet food capacity in Brazil, effectively doubling the company’s production capacity.
As pet humanisation rises, demand for higher-quality, specialised and science-backed nutrition, especially in cat food, is expected to remain resilient.
The site is the company’s first ground-up factory in more than 50 years.
