Take your product on a journey
Business & Category Consultancy
At PPF, we take a customer-centric approach. Our experienced team of category managers, working closely with the commercial and product development teams, diligently analyses industry and consumer trends to stay on top of market dynamics. Our primary goal is to help drive your business forward. By leveraging our extensive data and expertise, we can significantly contribute to the success of your business.
Portfolio optimisation: We meticulously analyse your existing product portfolio and identify any gaps. By understanding consumer preferences and market dynamics, we recommend adjustments to enhance your overall profitability. If you have no portfolio yet, we can help you prepare one which is both optimised and relevant to your sales channel and customer type. We can develop products for different pets' life stages, specific breeds, health concerns, and also address environmental issues... nothing is out of scope.
Innovation opportunities: Staying abreast of current trends, we identify emerging product categories and features. Our guidance leads to the development of innovative products that resonate with your consumers.
Product Development
Our experienced product development team is committed to developing high quality products to ensure the health and wellbeing of our pets. With our developments we cover a wide range of consumer needs. We have products that go from basic economy nutrition to super premium products, all of which follow the latest industry trends and scientific developments. We work closely with our customers to understand their needs and requirements so we can develop winning products. We also keep up with new raw material developments that can bring added value to our products / formulations, and closely follow regulation changes to ensure product safety and compliance.
Packaging Design
When it comes to packaging design, our approach is flexible and customer-centric. Majority of our clients arrive with their own packaging designs tailored to their brand identity. Our task is to seamlessly integrate these designs with specific product recipes while also adhering to legislative and regulatory guidelines.
However, if a client prefers a holistic cooperation, we recommend partnering with a specialised design studio. Our priority remains delivering a cohesive product that reflects quality, style and stands out on the shelf.
Packaging Solutions
Our packaging solutions are designed with flexibility and sustainability in mind. We offer a comprehensive range of packaging formats across all product categories, whether it’s dry food, wet food, or treats. Our fully automated packaging lines are efficient yet highly flexible, allowing us to pack under your brand name in any size or style you desire.
We provide diverse packaging options, including doypacks, boxes, cans, trays, and bags of all sizes, from small to large.
Customization: Before product development begins, we provide detailed information, giving you the opportunity to choose the ideal packaging for your brand.
Sustainability focus: Currently, all our dry food products will come in recyclable packaging by the end of 2024. We’re actively collaborating with our suppliers to achieve the same for pouches by 2030.
Production and Product Testing
Thanks to our integrated pan-European network of 12 factories, PPF ensures swift and efficient delivery of our products to customers. Our state-of-the-art technologies, operated by experienced teams, guarantee top-quality production. Our factories are equipped with in-house laboratories which allow us to closely inspect both the raw materials and final products. They hold IFS certification and undergo regular inspections by local authorities. Additionally, many possess other recognized certificates.
We proudly offer products with Bio or ASC/MSC certifications, available in select factories. You can be sure that your final product will be pampered.
In addition to our certifications and quality control, we also conduct palatability tests on our produced products. These tests are carried out on independent panels of dogs and cats, ensuring that both taste and appeal meet your expectations.
Logistic Services
With 10 distribution centres strategically located around Europe, we ensure flexibility and minimise transport costs. Our pallet solutions are tailored to your specific requirements. Your products reach their destination efficiently, keeping your supply chain seamless and cost-effective. Additionally, our commitment to high service levels ensures that we deliver the desired goods precisely when needed and in the required quantities.
We offer a wide range of dog and cat food in many different forms, including pouches, snacks, cans and more, and across all levels, from super-premium to economy. What works best for you?
