The Nutriment Company (TNC) has acquired Dutch pet treats business Antos, marking its ninth acquisition in 2025.

The deal expands TNC's position in the treats category and provides access to Antos' network of retailers and distributors across the Benelux region.

Anders Kristiansen, CEO of The Nutriment Company, said in a statement the acquisition delivers "instant scale to our treats business in the Benelux region." Adding, Antos' "strong market presence in a fast-growing segment makes them an excellent fit for TNC."

Founded more than 30 years ago, Antos operates a logistics facility in the Netherlands that TNC plans to use as a hub for the Benelux market. The site offers expansion capacity and is expected to support distribution of TNC's full product range.
