Austria Pet Food expands its production
On Friday, April 14th, 2023, Austria Pet Food celebrated its 10th anniversary with a special event. At the same time, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new production facility took place. With an investment of approximately 35 million euros, the facility in Pöttelsdorf will be expanded to become one of the most modern and largest in Europe. The focus will be on high-quality Paté recipes in cans. The production capacity will increase from nearly 60,000 tons to up to 90,000 tons per year. The production area will be increased to over 15,000 m2 while operations continue, creating 50 new jobs. The expansion is being financed by the owners of Austria Pet Food, a consortium of banks from Burgenland including Raiffeisen Landesbank Burgenland and Bank Burgenland, with support from AWS and Wirtschaftsagentur Burgenland.
We are members of the Austrian Pet Food Association (ÖHTV) and, consequently, also part of the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF).
The öhtv – the Austrian Pet Food Association – represents the interests of the Austrian Pet Food producing industry and views itself as the representative of a responsible feed industry in Austria.

We are committed to sustainability and resource conservation
Sustainability and resource conservation are central company goals of Austria Pet Food. In collaboration with ARA (Altstoff Recycling Austria), the separate collection, recovery, and disposal of packaging waste in the ARA system are promoted and practiced.
Through this actively contributed environmental conservation effort, Austria Pet Food was able to save over 1,615 tons of CO2 in 2023. This is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions from approximately 20,674,270 kilometers driven by cars. Thanks to the close collaboration between ARA and Austria Pet Food, customers and consumers of Austria Pet Food also benefit: they can rely on ARA's disposal options.
"The separate collection and recovery of packaging, primarily through ARA AG, saves the environment over 500,000 tons of CO2 per year, which corresponds to around 6% of the annual mileage of all registered cars in Austria."
