Agrilife24.com:The pet food industry continues to evolve, driven by changing consumer expectations and rising demand for premium, diverse nutrition solutions. Meeting that moment, two of the industry's most trusted brands, Wenger and Extru-Tech, are entering a new chapter as part of JBT Marel.
This milestone brings together more than 120 years of combined experience under one organization, united by a shared goal: to transform the future of pet food processing.
For customers, the integration means deeper technical expertise and a broader portfolio spanning the full spectrum of production, from traditional and high meat kibble systems to minimally processed and wet pet food solutions. Combining complementary technologies allows JBT Marel to deliver more complete process solutions, helping manufacturers improve efficiency, product quality, and overall performance.
The integration also simplifies how customers work with their equipment partner. Instead of coordinating across multiple vendors, producers now have a single, trusted source for equipment, process expertise, and support, streamlining operations while expanding what's possible across their production lines.
Innovation sits at the center of this next phase. Increased investment in research and development, paired with deeper combined process knowledge, positions JBT Marel to accelerate new technologies that help customers stay ahead as the market shifts.
Customers continue working with the same contacts they know and trust, now backed by the full depth of JBT Marel's expertise and resources, adding value at every stage of their operations.
As Wenger and Extru-Tech move forward under JBT Marel, their combined strength creates new opportunities for pet food manufacturers to grow, adapt, and innovate with confidence, today and into the future.
