BrightPet acquires frozen raw and free-dried pet food company Bravo! Pet Foods
The A&M Capital Partners-backed manufacturer completes its second acquisition in two years.
By taking over the Bravo brand, BrightPet expects to continue its growth trajectory.
Growth strategy
“When we acquired BrightPet, our goal was to grow the company into a premier platform in pet food, treats, and care products, with a differentiated portfolio of meaningful brands and best-in-industry production capabilities,” said Ryan McCarthy, Partner at A&M Capital Partners.
“In the two years since our acquisition, BrightPet has achieved significant domestic and international growth in super-premium product categories. We have completed two strategic acquisitions and have more than doubled the company’s revenues, the number of brands in our portfolio.”
Bravo! Pet Foods
Bravo (founded in Connecticut, USA) was one of the early producers of frozen raw and freeze-dried pet food.
“The Bravo brand is widely known and has been respected for more than 20 years. We believe Bravo’s commitment to innovation, premium ingredients and the highest standard of manufacturing aligns well with BrightPet,” said Dave Kowal, CEO of BrightPet.
Melinda Miller, former CEO of Bravo, will join BrightPet as the Vice President of Bravo Brands.
“We could not be more excited for Bravo to join the BrightPet family of brands,” said Miller. “We believe BrightPet and AMCP immediately provide complementary resources, enabling the creation of new products for years to come. BrightPet’s commitment to innovation, quality, reliability, and safety provide an unmatched foundation to grow together.”
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
