VAFO Group is a European maker of premium pet food that began in 1994 as Vafo Praha and is now a second-generation Czech family business headquartered outside Prague. It runs nine dry food, wet food, snack and supplement factories with capacity above 220,200 tonnes a year, employs around 1,600 people and has factories and branches in Finland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Estonia, Poland, France and Austria, with sales above €700 million and brands sold in more than 90 countries.
