Inter-Pet AG to cease distribution of “Nutro”

Inter-Pet AG has informed its customers that it is to cease distribution of the pet food brand “Nutro” in Germany. The background to this decision, managing director Alwin Kessler told PETonline, is that in recent months the supply of goods from the USA has fallen increasingly behind schedule and become more and more inconsistent. The company, based in Eupen, Belgium, will shortly be dissolved, a move that will affect 23 employees. It is not clear at present how the pet food brand, which has made rapid progress in Germany in recent years, will be marketed in future. In Austria the “Nutro” brand will continue to be distributed by Vitaform.
