Cosmax Pet, the pet health and beauty contract manufacturing arm of Cosmax Group that develops customized pet supplements and care products, opened a major new production facility in Korea to meet surging demand for specialized pet health care solutions.

The company said Wednesday that it officially began operations at the new plant at the Jeungpyeong 2 General Industrial Complex in North Chungcheong Province. The facility represents a 40 billion won ($27 million) investment, following an agreement signed with Jeungpyeong County in October last year.

Dedicated to producing pet nutritional supplements and functional snacks, the new factory expands Cosmax Pet’s production footprint more than fourfold compared to its previous plant in Goesan. This expanded capacity enables the company to respond far more flexibly to growing product development requests from clients.

With the expansion, Cosmax Pet is strengthening its end-to-end original development manufacturing and original equipment manufacturing capabilities — spanning product planning, ingredient sourcing, formulation development, manufacturing and quality control.
