Global food group Bonduelle has acquired Nasta Pet Food for an undisclosed amount, marking a significant expansion into the premium pet nutrition market. Nasta Pet Food is a global collective of pet food entrepreneurs known for crafting high-quality products that integrate nature, science, and taste to support healthier lives for pets. This corporate acquisition sees Bonduelle taking full ownership of Nasta Pet Food, rather than participating in a funding round.
Nasta Pet Food operates a family of ultra-premium brands, including Forza10, Bab’in, and Natural Code, which are distributed across more than 30 markets worldwide. For over five decades, Nasta has combined a strong industrial and innovation-driven DNA with deep nutritional expertise, overseeing the entire process from research and formulation to manufacturing and distribution. The company's mission is to elevate pet nutrition with purpose, authenticity, and emotion, believing that every meal contributes to long-term health and strengthens the bond between pets and their owners.
The acquisition is strategically significant for Bonduelle, allowing the global food group to diversify its portfolio and enter the growing premium pet food sector. Bonduelle is expected to leverage Nasta Pet Food's specialized expertise in pet nutrition, its established ultra-premium brands, and its global distribution network. This move aligns with a broader trend of food companies seeking opportunities in adjacent markets that share similar values around quality, health, and sustainable practices, which Nasta emphasizes in its commitment to respecting nature and driving sustainable growth.
Expected synergies from this acquisition include combining Nasta's innovative R&D and manufacturing capabilities with Bonduelle's operational scale and market reach. The combined entity aims to strengthen its position in the premium pet food market, continuing Nasta's ambition to "move pet food forward" by creating a positive impact for healthier pets and confident pet parents under Bonduelle's ownership.
