About
Lily's Kitchen Limited is a UK-based company dedicated to producing high-quality, nutritious pet food for dogs and cats, utilizing natural ingredients free from artificial additives to promote pet health and wellbeing. Founded in 2008, Lily's Kitchen Limited operates from London, UK, providing premium pet food products. In April 2020, the company underwent a significant change when it was acquired by Nestlé Purina PetCare Company for USD 105 mn. The CEO is Giorgio Vesprini, leading the company in its mission to offer natural pet food options.
Lily's Kitchen specializes in high-quality pet food products, primarily focused on providing nutritious and natural meals for dogs and cats. Their core offerings include a range of dry and wet food options, crafted using whole, human-grade ingredients without artificial additives. These products are designed to meet the dietary needs of pets at various life stages, addressing specific health concerns such as weight management and sensitive digestion. Lily's Kitchen aims to enhance the wellbeing of pets by promoting a balanced diet that mimics natural feeding habits.
The company caters to a diverse customer base, including pet owners and retailers, and has a strong presence in markets such as the United Kingdom, Europe, and expanding regions in North America. In the most recent fiscal year of 2023, Lily's Kitchen reported revenue of USD 113. 76 mn and an EBITDA of USD 5. 81 mn.
The company's revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer sales and partnerships with retailers and wholesalers, ensuring a consistent flow of income. Following its acquisition, Lily's Kitchen is poised for growth with plans to expand its product range, particularly introducing new offerings designed to enhance pet nutrition. The company is also targeting new geographic markets, focusing on further penetration into North America by the end of 2025. The recent funding from the acquisition by Nestlé Purina PetCare Company will support these initiatives as the company explores new avenues for growth and product development.
