Further Strengthening of the Portfolio: Together with financial investor KKA Partners, Mühldorfer Group completes its seventh acquisition within just 14 months, further expanding its expertise in the high-growth Health & Care segment and in the private-label production of functional pet snacks.
With the acquisition of NAPEMA GmbH (Natural Petfood Manufacture GmbH), based in Pirmasens, Germany, Mühldorfer Nutrition Holding GmbH (Mühldorfer Group) takes over one of the technology leaders and key innovation drivers in the Pet Health & Care segment. NAPEMA’s unique production technologies, designed to meet the highest quality standards and consistently focused on pet health, further underscore Mühldorfer Group’s commitment to positioning itself as a high-performance private-label partner for Health & Care products in the pet industry.

The company has successfully bridged the gap between treats and rewards on the one hand and applied healthcare solutions on the other—while achieving outstanding acceptance among pets. With the production facility in Pirmasens, its highly qualified workforce, and an exceptionally committed management team, we now see ourselves as one of the innovation leaders in the European Pet Health & Care market. We invite our national and international customers to directly benefit from this technological advantage when shaping their product portfolios.” Andreas Altermann, Managing Director and COO, Mühldorfer Group
