Founded on family
We’ve come a long way in 50 years, but some things never change.
C&D Foods has always held family at the heart of the business. It was founded in 1969 in Edgeworthstown, County Longford, by Albert Reynolds.
With family comes a sense of responsibility, and a commitment to sustainable growth that has seen that Edgeworthstown pet food business blossom into one of the largest private label pet food manufacturers in Europe.
These days C&D Foods offers manufacturing facilities and sales offices in 14 locations across Europe, with 1,500 employees driving excellence and innovation in pet food. We might be a little larger than Albert’s first production site, but we know he’d recognise the same values and integrity in our operations today.
