Born in Ferreira do Zêzere, the Portuguese brand PETMAXI® represents a story of ambition, expertise and innovation applied to dog and cat nutrition, demonstrating since 2015 Portugal’s ability to develop and produce high quality food in a sector strongly shaped by the presence of international brands. Created with the ambition of producing in Portugal to the highest standards found anywhere in the world of animal nutrition, the Portuguese brand PETMAXI® combines advanced technology, specialist knowledge and a carefully considered selection of ingredients, favouring Portuguese raw materials and suppliers whenever possible and using fresh ingredients that help preserve the nutritional value, flavour and quality of its food. Research and development play a central role in this journey, with formulas created by specialist teams of nutritionists and veterinarians, adapted to the different needs of animals and designed to promote their wellbeing, health and longevity. From the selection of raw materials to laboratory control, and from production to dispatch, every stage of the process is monitored in accordance with demanding quality and food safety standards, a commitment further reinforced by IFS Food certification, which the company has maintained at the highest level since 2017. Innovation has also been a defining feature of the Portuguese brand PETMAXI®, which pioneered the production of grain free ranges in Portugal and has continued to explore new nutritional solutions and more sustainable production methods, seeking to reduce the environmental impact of its activity without compromising product quality. From its production facility in Ferreira do Zêzere, the Portuguese brand PETMAXI® now takes Portuguese expertise and production to more than 40 countries, demonstrating that Portugal also has the knowledge, technology and capability to compete in the most demanding markets when it comes to feeding our animals. With its sights set on the future, while remaining deeply connected to the place where it was born, the Portuguese brand PETMAXI® transforms experience, science and dedication into an increasingly international expression of Portuguese industry, taking from Portugal to the world a responsible way of caring for those who are part of our families.
