Operating from our flagship manufacturing complex in Koźmin Wielkopolski, Poland, Global Pet's Food Sp. z o.o. stands at the forefront of European contract manufacturing. As a dedicated BRCGS Certified Pet Food OEM partner, we combine advanced process engineering, food science rigor, and scalable production to serve over 300 tier-1 retailers, global brands, and institutional importers.
Our facility is managed by a skilled workforce of over 250 specialists, operating 18 specialized production lines capable of high-throughput thermal processing, twin-screw extrusion, precise pouch filling, and controlled atmospheric drying. By maintaining complete vertical control—from raw ingredient sourcing through in-house laboratory release to export container loading—we eliminate supply chain friction and deliver uncompromised quality assurance on every batch.
Technical Competence & E-E-A-T Excellence
In the competitive pet food landscape, quality is defined at the molecular level. Our state-of-the-art laboratory performs real-time chemical, physical, and microbiological assays across all incoming raw materials and finished lots. Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and automated moisture meters, our technologists ensure exact crude protein, crude fat, ash, and moisture parameters match your registered label declarations.
Every new OEM product development project follows a rigorous 5-stage validation pathway: preliminary nutritional modeling against FEDIAF and AAFCO profiles, trial batch extrusion/retorting, thermal penetration mapping ($F_0$ value optimization), 90-day accelerated stability testing, and palatability trials with independent feeding panels.
Product Portfolio & Contract Capabilities
We offer complete contract manufacturing across three core categories, backed by over 5,000 custom formulation profiles tailored to specific life stages, functional health claims, and dietary requirements.
High-moisture formulas including chunks in gravy, loaf in jelly, fine pâtés, and mono-protein stew recipes packed in pouches, cans, trays, and doypacks.
High-density, highly digestible dry kibble for puppies, adult dogs, kittens, and senior pets, featuring fresh meat inclusion and custom kibble die geometry.
Gently air-dried meat strips, training bites, dental sticks, and single-ingredient meat chews produced with 100% European fresh meat inputs.

Strategic Industry Analysis
As global pet humanization accelerates, brand owners and retail chains face evolving regulatory mandates, shifting consumer expectations, and complex international supply chain dynamics. Sourcing pet food under a BRCGS Certified Pet Food OEM model is no longer simply about cost per unit—it is about securing a resilient, fully audited, and technologically flexible manufacturing partner in Central Europe.
In response to global shipping disruptions and volatile freight costs, international buyers are increasingly shifting their contract manufacturing volume from distant overseas suppliers to European hubs. Operating from Poland, Global Pet's Food offers strategic geopolitical advantages: direct access to high-grade Central and Eastern European agricultural raw materials, immediate road transit to Western European logistics networks, and strict adherence to EU Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 regarding animal by-products.
Global procurement directors are under mounting pressure to meet Scope 3 emissions reduction targets and comply with upcoming European plastic packaging regulations. The OEM landscape is rapidly abandoning traditional non-recyclable aluminum multi-laminates in favor of mono-material polyolefin (PE/PP) structures that maintain high oxygen and moisture barrier properties while fitting seamlessly into circular recycling streams.
At our plant in Koźmin Wielkopolski, sustainability is integrated directly into manufacturing operations. Equipped with a 10 MW photovoltaic solar array and closed-loop heat recovery systems on our autoclaves, we significantly reduce carbon intensity per metric ton of pet food produced.
Modern pet owners demand transparency equal to human food standards. This shift translates into several macro product formulation trends currently dominating OEM requests:
Enterprise Procurement FAQ
Detailed technical, regulatory, and commercial answers for enterprise procurement managers, category directors, and brand founders.
BRCGS (Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standard) for Food Safety Issue 9 is a GFSI-recognized standard that guarantees rigorous control over food safety, hygiene, process monitoring, and traceability. For global buyers, sourcing from a BRCGS certified OEM drastically reduces supplier risk, streamlines regulatory listings with tier-1 retailers, and ensures that every batch produced complies with uniform international quality standards without requiring redundant third-party facility audits.
Our technical transfer process is designed for zero formula disruption: 1) NDA execution and raw material specification matching; 2) R&D recipe mapping to our twin-screw extruders or wet-food retort lines; 3) Pilot trial run (1–2 metric tons) to evaluate extrusion swelling, moisture kinetics, density, and thermal destruction parameters ($F_0$ value); 4) Analytical laboratory verification (NIR, HPLC, micro); 5) Industrial scale-up production and packaging validation.
We enforce a strict digital ERP batch-tracking system compliant with EU Regulation (EC) 178/2002. Every raw material intake—from fresh meat slurries to mineral premixes—is assigned a unique QR/barcode barcode upon arrival at our Koźmin Wielkopolski plant. This allows complete bidirectional traceability: from the finished retail pallet back to the exact supplier lot, harvest date, and laboratory release certificate in under 2 hours.
Our standard production lead time is 45 to 60 days following final artwork and recipe approval. MOQs vary by packaging format: wet food pouches generally start at 30,000–50,000 units per formulation variant; canned wet food at 20,000 cans; extruded dry kibble at 3–5 metric tons per kibble size; and dehydrated meat treats at 500 kg per batch. Flexible multi-sku packing solutions can be arranged for strategic long-term partners.
Yes. Our in-house regulatory compliance department assists partners with international registration documentation, health certificates (Veterinary Health Certificates issued by the Polish General Veterinary Inspectorate), Certificate of Free Sale (CFS), and compliance reviews against FEDIAF (Europe), AAFCO (USA), and target-market labeling laws across Asia, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
Yes. Our modern twin-screw extrusion infrastructure is equipped with direct fresh meat injection systems capable of incorporating up to 50% real fresh meat slurries into the kibble matrix prior to extrusion. This process yields superior palatability, enhanced protein digestibility, and optimal kibble texture without over-denaturing essential amino acids.
Every packaging line is integrated with automated inline quality control points: continuous checkweighers, X-ray metal and foreign object detectors, optical laser code readers for lot/expiry printing verification, and dynamic seal-integrity pressure testers. Any non-compliant unit is automatically rejected from the line without disrupting process speed.
