High Volume Capacity Gardner Pet Group operates a 160,000 sq ft facility in West Bend with high-speed training pad lines capable of producing up to half a million pads per shift and injection molding presses ranging from 650 to 1,800 tons, enabling scalable production for private-label or branded pet products.

Private Label Strength The company manufactures both private label and branded goods, offering turnkey product development and manufacturing, which is attractive to pet brands seeking outsourcing and faster time-to-market.

Global Sourcing Value They position themselves to balance locally produced versus globally sourced components and leverage global production capabilities, providing a strong option for clients looking to optimize total cost of ownership through a mixed sourcing strategy.

Digital Commerce Fit With a tech stack that includes WooCommerce and Google Analytics, Gardner Pet Group demonstrates familiarity with online sales channels and digital tooling, suggesting opportunities to serve direct-to-consumer brands or to integrate manufacturing with e-commerce fulfillment.

Resilience and Growth Past restructuring signals, including a 2019 plant closure, underscore the value of a stable, multi-site manufacturing partner and present an opening to offer capacity resilience, scalable contracts, and risk-mitigated supply solutions to pet product brands.
