OC&C Support Butcher’s in Acquisition by IPN

We are delighted to congratulate Butcher’s on their recent acquisition by Inspired Pet Nutrition (IPN). OC&C provided sell-side support to Butcher’s on this deal.

Butcher’s Pet Care, founded in 1983, is a leading manufacturer of wet pet food in the UK, trading under three brands: Butcher’s dog food, Classic cat food, and Blink! cat food. The company manufactures own-label pet food for a range of customers, including specialist pet shops. Butcher’s also holds a significant market share in pet food in Poland, from where it exports to other international markets.

IPN, based in the UK, is known for its high-quality natural pet foods under the ‘Harringtons’ and ‘Wagg’ brands. The company was acquired by CapVest in 2020, an international investment firm and buy-and-build specialist. Their acquisition of Butcher’s supports their growth ambitions in the growing European pet food market.

We look forward to seeing the continued success of Butcher’s and IPN.
