GimCat cat snacks

GimCat is a well-established brand in the pet care industry, specialized in snacks and functional treats for cats. The brand traces its origins back to Germany, founded by the H. von Gimborn GmbH, which has a heritage spanning over 160 years. Although the brand was traditionally German, it has since expanded its footprint across Europe. Production primarily occurs in facilities located in Germany and Austria, though some materials or specific lines may involve other European partners.

Today, the brand is owned by Hillhouse Investment, a global private equity firm that acquired H. von Gimborn from the Czech investment group GPE (BKK) in 2024. Despite its ownership by a global investment vehicle headquartered in Hong Kong (and Singapore), the company maintains its operational headquarters in Emmerich am Rhein, Germany, preserving its European manufacturing standards and brand identity.
