The Nutriment Company acquires another raw pet food producer in less than a month
The Swedish pet food group is expanding its UK footprint with the acquisition of Yorkshire Raw Feeds.
Less than a month after announcing its first acquisition of 2026 in Germany, The Nutriment Company (TNC) has completed a second deal, adding UK-based raw pet food supplier Yorkshire Raw Feeds to its portfolio. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The producer specializes in raw pet food in chub format and has a strong presence among independent pet retailers in Yorkshire, northern England, and the surrounding regions.
Yorkshire Raw Feeds also provides private-label manufacturing services, enabling retailers to offer their own branded raw pet food products.
Independent retail
According to TNC, the acquisition is intended to strengthen its presence in the independent pet specialty retail channel and expand access to high-quality natural nutrition products for pet owners across the UK.
“The affordable raw segment is one of the fastest-growing parts of the market, and this acquisition further strengthens our position in that space,” says company CEO Anders Kristiansen.
“With deep roots in Yorkshire and a loyal customer base, this is a business built on real expertise and genuine customer trust – exactly the kind of partners we look for,” he adds.
Yorkshire Raw Feeds is a Leeds-based company operating a Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra)-approved facility. Its portfolio includes natural raw meat food and treats for dogs.
Previous acquisitions in the UK
In 2025, TNC bought 4 British pet food brands, beginning with the January acquisitions of The Dog’s Butcher, a raw dog food brand, and Your Pet Nutrition, a pet supplement company.
Later, it acquired the dog food producer and supplier Bulmer Pet Foods in April and the raw cat food manufacturer Purrform in July.
Overall, the Swedish firm completed 10 acquisitions across Europe in 2025. In May 2026, TNC bought the German-based Frostfutter Perleberg, a manufacturer and B2C online platform specializing in raw pet food.
The Nutriment Company is a Stockholm-based supplier of natural, premium pet food across Europe. The business is owned by Nordic private equity firm Axcel.
