Mission

Real Pet Food Co (RPF) is a 29-year-old Australian pet food company producing fresh, chilled and frozen dog and cat food under roughly 17 brands, including Ivory Coat, Billy + Margot, Trilogy, Fussy Cat and Dr. B’s, and operating six manufacturing plants in Australia. RPF positions itself as the largest independent pet food manufacturer in Australia and New Zealand and among the top 20 globally. In June 2023 the company received an equity investment of US$161.2 million (about A$242 million) from its existing Asia‑Pacific investors to expand its chilled pet food business. The participating investors were Temasek, food‑space private equity firm Hosen Capital and China’s New Hope Group; those investors first became RPF’s owners in 2017 when they bought the company from Quadrant Private Equity. RPF says it will use the proceeds to hire additional strategic personnel and launch more products to maintain its market leadership in fresh, chilled and frozen pet food for dogs and cats. The company’s manufacturing footprint and brand portfolio underpin its stated roadmap to expand chilled offerings and preserve market leadership.
