Champion Petfoods USA breaks ground in Kentucky
Canadian-based company builds first US kitchen
Champion Petfoods USA broke ground in Logan County, Kentucky, on July 23, 2014, opening its first US kitchen which will be sourced by local farmers. The Canada-based company specializes in biologically appropriate petfoods using fresh local ingredients.
“We welcome Champion Petfoods to the Commonwealth,” said Governor Steve Beshear. “Not only will the company create 147 jobs and invest US$85 million, it also will provide a significant boost to our local farmers and Kentucky’s food production industry. I look forward to seeing this Kentucky-made product on store shelves throughout the region.”
The facility is expected to be operational in 2016. “We found the perfect location to prepare our biologically appropriate foods made from fresh regional ingredients in the US,” said Frank Burdzy, Champion’s president and CEO. “Access to local farmers, growers and producers will allow our new Kentucky kitchen to advance our biologically appropriate mandate.”

With the launch of the Kentucky facility, US customers will no longer have access to any of the Canadian made food; we’ll only have access to foods being produced out of Kentucky. This is because ALL of the current lines of Acana and Orijen will be modified by using regionally sourced ingredients around the Kentucky facility which are different from those in Alberta. For example, instead of wild-caught Pacific fish, they’re now using wild-caught Great Lake fish or wild-caught North Atlantic fish. Again, this means we will see a complete re-formulation of every single Acana and Orijen bag of food in the US.Looking at the new formulas, we don’t believe there’s anything to worry about with the changes. They’re still the great, high-quality, high-protein foods that you’re used to with the Canadian made formulas. However, we understand your concerns and are here to answer any questions you may have about sourcing, labels, or any other concerns. Please contact the shop with any questions or concerns you have and we’ll be happy to help you!E poco dopo

Non hanno prodotti di punta, se non erro le stesse Eukanuba e Iams furono venute.
E chi ha detto che voglia affossarla? Sicuramente vuole sfruttare il "blasone" e la fama...
Io ho solo detto che ORA la CPF è entrata a far parte di una multinazionale, mentre prima era un azienda a conduzione familiare.
La storia mi insegna che "solitamente" queste operazioni non portano nulla di buono, ma questa potrebbe anche esser l'eccezione che conferma la regola...
E non sto parlando solo del settore del Pet Food, ma in campo alimentare, se ci ragioni, sono tantissimi i marchi "famosi" che sono entrati a far parte della galassia di qualche multinazionale...
Un marchio in più da mettere nel carrello, un concorrente in meno sul mercato...
Gli esempi sono decine... E spesse volte i consumatori ne sono totalmente ignari...
Quando si tratta di un acqua minerale, la cosa mi preoccupa meno... se non cambiano la fonte, l'acqua è sempre quella...
Negli altri casi... Beh, ognuno ha la propria esperienza e le proprie opinioni...
Riguardo al CEO, a me risulta che sia cambiato nel 2015... Prima del 2012 il CEO era il fondatore...
Quello che so per certo è che i cambiamenti recenti cambiamenti di formula "A ME" non sono piaciuti...
E quello che so per certo è che negli USA, gli utilizzatori del prodotto, sono tutt'altro che contenti... (e parlo di colleghi allevatori con cui sono in rapporto...)
E parlando in generale anche i consumatori americani sono all'erta... In Internet trovi diverse discussioni a riguardo, sui forum americani...
E comunque, in questo Topic siamo OT, sposto le discussioni nel topic apposito...
