Raw pet food manufacturer Carnivore Meat Co. announced plans to construct a $55 million plant in Green Bay, WI.

The campus will have 235,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space, the Press-Gazette reports.

Production at the facility is expected to begin by late 2023. The company makes freeze-dried and frozen raw pet food, snacks and treats.

Carnivore Meat’s brands include Nature’s Advantage, Vital Essentials and Vital Cat. The firm is also a partner to co-manufacturing and private label customers.

Private equity firm Arbor Investments announced an investment in Carnivore Meat in December.

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
