The Nutriment Company is to acquire German pet-food businesses Frostfutter Perleberg and eBarf from K&K Petfood.

The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

In a statement yesterday (19 May), The Nutriment Company said the deal adds “one of the leading B2C platforms for premium raw feeding" to its portfolio.

The Nutriment Company CEO Anders Kristiansen said: “With the acquisition of Frostfutter Perleberg and eBarf, we are gaining a business with a clear quality positioning and high customer loyalty.

“For over 15 years, they have championed natural, species-appropriate nutrition that meets the highest standards. This mission perfectly aligns with our own commitment to providing healthy, premium pet food that contributes to the long-term health and happiness of dogs and cats.”

Frostfutter Perleberg has been operating for more than 15 years, producing pet food at its own facility. Its range includes fresh-frozen raw products, wet food, chews and supplements. As a sister business to Frostfutter Perleberg, eBarf is a specialist online retailer.

Julius Adrian, the managing director of The Nutriment Company's operations in western Europe, said: “The combination of in-house production, regional sourcing and a strong direct customer base makes Frostfutter Perleberg and eBarf an ideal addition to our portfolio.

“Integrating them into our existing structure will allow us to realise operational synergies and enable further growth.”

The Nutriment Company, owned by Nordic private-equity firm Axcel, has made a series of acquisitions last year, including multiple deals in Germany. It bought German private-label pet-food business Graf Barf from CDS Hackner in June. It also acquired BAF Petfood from Fressnapf in March.

In December 2025, TNC entered the Polish pet-food market with the acquisition of Zoo Factory, a distributor of “premium” pet treats and pet food.
