Barrett Petfood Innovations is growing at a rapid pace and has become a highly respected full-service super premium pet food manufacturing company since its founding by Mike Barrett. In recent years Mike’s children, Sarah and Tom, have taken over the organization but Mike is still involved through a different role. His farm is one of the main ingredient sources for the company.

BPI produces over 150 different types of pet food from dog, cat and bird food to more exotic items such as turtle, fish and primate food. The final products are distributed locally as well as exported around the world.

Our Mission:

To be a national leader in extruded animal and pet food contract manufacturing solutions.

To meet the challenges of an ever-changing world market by seeking innovative new technologies both inside and outside of our organization.

To provide responsive, intelligent sales and manufacturing teams that are as knowledgeable about the needs of our customers as they are about our products.

To manufacture animal and pet foods that provide quality, value, and dependability.

To pursue all avenues that may enhance or improve the products of our customers.

To ensure a top-level of quality control for added peace of mind to our customers.

To build a solid, lasting relationship with you, our customer.

Cost Savings
Co-packing can deliver significant cost savings that can be leveraged through the application of business process improvement techniques to make internal processes more efficient.

Quantifiable Costs
The cost is clearly quantifiable and predictable whereas the internal costs of processing are often unknown and rarely monitored.

Freeing Capital
The capital investment required to process in-house is typically greater than required for co-packing. The capital freed up by co-packing can be invested more profitably elsewhere in the business.

Competitive Edge
Businesses which harness both internal and external resources are often better equipped to react to changing circumstances or to explore new market opportunities. Concentrating on core activities, they are usually more flexible and responsive, giving them a competitive edge.

Latest Technology and Expertise
Co-packing can also give organizations access to the best solutions and latest technology without the need for equipment upgrades or direct investment. More importantly, they gain access to processing specialists dedicated to ensuring they meet their statutory obligations.
