Purina is a historic pet care brand with a legacy dating back to the late 19th century in the United States. Originally established as the Robinson-Danforth Commission Company, it later became Ralston Purina. The brand's presence in Europe and the UK is significant, often marketed under sub-brands like Felix, which is highly popular in the British cat food market.
Manufacturing for Purina products occurs in a diverse global network of specialized pet food facilities to ensure freshness and supply chain efficiency. While many products for the UK and Irish markets are sourced from factories across Europe (including Germany and Hungary), regional distribution is handled through local subsidiaries.
In 2001, Nestlé acquired Ralston Purina, merging it with their existing Friskies PetCare division to form Nestlé Purina PetCare. Today, the brand remains an integral part of Nestlé's global portfolio. The ultimate ownership lies with Nestlé S.A., headquartered in Switzerland, which continues to lead the brand's innovation in pet nutrition and sustainability.
