Golden Pet Brands has completed the acquisition of the Petsource pet food production facility in Seward, Nebraska, U.S. The transaction closed May 8, 2026.
The 170,000-square-foot Seward facility, built in 2019 and expanded in 2021-2022, will produce pet food and treats exclusively for Golden Pet Brands portfolio brands, including Dr. Marty Pets and Ultimate Pet Nutrition. The site holds SQF (Safe Quality Food) certification and is registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
With the addition, Golden Pet Brands operates two U.S. manufacturing facilities. Approximately 100 Petsource employees join the company as part of the transaction, and production operations continue uninterrupted.
"The Petsource team has built a high-quality production operation in Seward, and we are pleased to welcome approximately 100 of their employees to the Golden Pet Brands family and excited to be part of the Seward community. We've met with city officials and couldn't be more pleased with the warm reception," said Lucas Koele, vice president of manufacturing at Golden Pet Brands.
