GA Pet Food to open new premises

GA Pet Food Partners is set to open its new Ingredients Kitchen following five years of planning and an additional four years of construction.

The private label dry pet food manufacturer worked in collaboration with nearly 150 build contractors from across the world from The Netherlands to Japan to develop the state-of-the-art site at Plocks Farm in Bretherton.

As well as furthering the company's net zero ambitions, the new facility allows GA to know the source of all raw materials and provides complete traceability throughout the process.

Alistair Bradley, leader of Chorley Borough Council, will cut the ribbon at an official ceremony in May.

Roger Bracewell, chairman, said: "The Grand Opening of the Ingredients Kitchen is GA’s opportunity to say thank you to all those involved in the design, construction and commissioning of this technologically advanced process and for them to be proud of their achievements.

"GA has been supported throughout by Chorley Council, and this encouragement has allowed GA to grow over the last 30 years, where we now employ over 850 people. As GA continues to look to the future, it hopes to work with local residents and the council on a mutual journey to a carbon-free world.”
