Wind Point acquired New Hamburg, Ontario-headquartered Targeted Pet Care from Pestell Group in 2018.
Paul Peterson, managing director at Wind Point, said that “a key pillar” of the strategy for Targeted PetCare “is expanding the company’s capabilities in pet consumables through M&A”.
He added: “The acquisition of Pet Brands is closely aligned with this strategy, and we look forward to supporting the growth of the combined businesses.”
