One of Africa’s largest independent Pet Food manufacturers, Montego Pet Nutrition (Montego), invested $5 mln to boost its production capabilities, showcasing the company’s continued commitment to fine-tuning and improving its pet food formulations and offerings. In addition, this was Montego’s response to increasing market demand for high-quality ranges of pet food and treats, available at affordable prices.
They also recently completed a $1,5million solar plant project. which is set to reduce its annual electricity demand by 1.4million kWh – enough to generate power for nearly 120 households at an average consumption of 1000 units per month for an entire year. The solar panel installation will save Montego 24% annually on electricity and has the potential to earn back the company’s investment within the next four years.
