According to Kormotech's CEO Ihor Paraniak, the company currently operates two production plants in Ukraine: a wet food facility with an annual capacity of 27,000 tonnes, and a dry food facility with a capacity of 55,000 tonnes.
Paraniak noted that Poland, Romania, and neighboring countries are strategic markets for Kormotech's sales, making Romania a strong candidate for the company’s next international manufacturing site.
"We are primarily looking for special economic zones that offer favorable investment conditions or strong capital return incentives — such as tax exemptions for a defined period, similar to those in Lithuania," Paraniak said.
He also emphasized Romania’s commercial potential:
"In addition to investment incentives, we see Romania as a market where our sales are expected to grow significantly. It is likely to become a key market for us in the near future. Local manufacturing would shorten the distance to our customers and help boost brand loyalty."
Founded in 2003, Kormotech is a global family-owned company with Ukrainian roots, producing premium nutrition for cats and dogs under the brands Optimeal, Delickcious, Club 4 Paws, and Gav! My Love. The company operates manufacturing facilities in both Ukraine and the EU, with a product portfolio exceeding 650 SKUs.
