Golden Pet Brands has completed the acquisition of the Petsource pet food production
With the acquisition of the Petsource pet food production facility in Seward, Nebraska, which closed on May 8, 2026, Golden Pet Brands now operates two manufacturing facilities in the United States. This will add 100 employees to Petsource’s workforce.
“Congratulations to our manufacturing team for being recognized this year by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as a Top Workplace and earning the Best Managers award — a reflection of the strong culture and engagement they have built. We are pleased to welcome the Petsource team to Golden Pet Brands,” said Apu Mody, CEO of Golden Pet Brands.
The 170,000-square-foot site was built in 2019 and expanded in 2021-2022. It holds SQF (Safe Quality Food) certification and is registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Seward facility will produce pet food and treats exclusively for Golden Pet Brands portfolio brands, including Dr. Marty Pets and Ultimate Pet Nutrition.
“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, VP of Manufacturing at Golden Pet Brands.
Golden Pet Brands is a multi-brand marketer and manufacturer of the high-quality, nutrient-dense pet food. The company’s portfolio of brands includes Dr. Marty Pets, Badlands Ranch, and Ultimate Pet Nutrition. For more information about Golden Pet Brands, visit www.goldenpetbrands.com.
