Client Challenge: A major retailer in Latin America was looking to source high-quality, European-produced petfood for its private label portfolio.
Before approaching potential manufacturers, GC Consulting started with a detailed review of the requested formulations to verify their suitability for export from Europe to the target Latin American market.
At the same time, we evaluated the most suitable packaging solutions, taking into account international transport, logistics efficiency and local market requirements.
Once these essential steps were completed, GC Consulting initiated discussions with three leading European petfood manufacturers to identify the best combination of product quality, production capabilities, pricing and long-term partnership potential.
Our involvement includes:
- Reviewing formulations for export feasibility and regulatory requirements
- Evaluating packaging options for international transport
- Identifying and negotiating with leading European manufacturers
- Coordinating product samples and quality evaluations
- Supporting supply chain management and quality assurance
- Planning new product developments and formulation updates every six months
The project is now in its final evaluation stage, with the customer testing the samples received from Europe. The first trial order is expected to follow shortly. GC Consulting will remain involved beyond the initial sourcing phase, supporting supply chain coordination, quality assurance and ongoing product development.
From selecting the right manufacturer to building a reliable international supply chain — GC Consulting supports every step of the private label journey.
