STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN — Voff Premium Pet Food announced its acquisition of Finland-based Aristo Oy, a manufacturer of natural pet chews and treats, on Feb. 21. The acquisition expands the company’s current portfolio of natural, premium food and its product reach into the Nordic pet food market.
According to Voff Premium Pet Food, Aristo Oy complements its existing portfolio with its natural chewing bones, manufactured under the brand RAUH!
“We are proud and happy to become part of Voff, a leader in our industry and with many impressive brands and entrepreneurs on-board,” said Risto Pelonen, chief executive officer, Aristo Oy. “We have had a great journey building RAUH! across the Nordics since 2003, and we are now excited to join Mårten and the team, and for the many opportunities ahead that will come from close collaboration and knowledge-sharing with Voff.”
This acquisition follows Voff Premium Pet Food’s acquisition of AniForte, a natural pet supplement producer, in December 2021. Arito Oy marks the company’s seventh acquisition since its founding in 2014, and its second in the Finland market.
