I-tail Corporation Public Company Limited

What I-tail Corporation Public Company Limited does

i-Tail Corporation Public Company Limited (SET: ITC) is a Bangkok-headquartered pet food manufacturer that operates a dual business model: a B2B OEM/private-label contract manufacturing platform serving the world's largest pet food brands and retailers, and a portfolio of five consumer brands — Bellotta (premium cat food), Marvo (premium dog food), ChangeTer (kidney-friendly specialty), Calico Bay (wet cat food with fresh seafood), and Paramount (premium wet dog food) — sold direct-to-consumer through Lazada, Shopee, and dealer networks in Thailand. The company was carved out of Thai Union Group's pet care division (Thai Union Group retains 79.30% ownership) and listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in December 2022 in what was the highest-valued F&B IPO in Thai market history. The company traces its operational heritage to 1977 when Thai Union first manufactured pet food at Samut Sakhon.

The company's core technology is its large-scale pet food manufacturing platform in Thailand, anchored by an annual capacity of 220,515 tons across facilities in Samut Sakhon and Songkhla, supported by 600+ quality control staff, 80 R&D experts in animal nutrition and food science, and a portfolio of over 4,800 developed product formulations. Manufacturing is certified to BRCGS, GMP, HACCP, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards, with product credentials including FEDIAF (Europe), AAFCO (US), MSC, SEDEX, and dolphin-safe certifications. R&D capabilities are reinforced by the i-Cattery Cat Food Research Center, housed at Mahidol University's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine since 2023, and a series of MoUs signed in late 2025/early 2026 with Kasetsart, Chiang Mai, and Prince of Songkla Universities for pet nutrition and health research. Freeze-drying technology is deployed in production, and the company emphasizes a co-creation-first approach with customers.

i-Tail generates revenue primarily through transaction-fee OEM/private-label manufacturing contracts with global pet food brands (one-stop co-creation and contract manufacturing), supplemented by own-brand sales through e-commerce and dealer channels and a growing pet treats and NPD pipeline. The company serves customers across more than 45 countries, with wholly-owned regional operating entities in the United States (U.S. Pet Nutrition since 2010, i-Tail Americas holding since 2021), Japan (Japan Pet Nutrition since 2021), China (i-Tail Pet Food Shanghai since 2023), and the Netherlands (i-Tail Europe B.V. since 2023). FY2025 sales were THB 18.2 billion with adjusted net profit of THB 3.4 billion and gross margin of 25.1%; 6M2026 sales reached THB 9,704 million (+20.6% YoY) with gross margin expanding to 26.8%, and Q1 2026 posted record sales of USD 163 million (+28.6% YoY). The company is ranked the No. 2 pet food company in Asia and a Top 10 global player.
