Nestlé Purina Petcare


Nestlé is serious about being the world's leading food company - it wants to be #1 in pet food too. In 2000 the group announced the acquisition of Ralston Purina, America's foremost pet food business. Once a mammoth conglomerate with interests ranging from pet food and grocery products to batteries and ice hockey, Ralston Purina has undergone a gradual dismantling since the late Eighties. Merged with Nestlé's existing Friskies business as Nestlé Purina Petcare, the company is now neck-and-neck with Mars' Pedigree/KalKan to be the world #1 maker of cat and dog food, with sales of $8bn. It is also a major force within Nestlé, generating around 12% of group revenues. Click here to access the Adbrands profile (subscribers only); or subscribe to Adbrands.net here.
