In this case study, a global feed additive company engaged CPL Business Consultants to develop a go-to-market strategy to sell its ingredients to the European pet food industry.  CPL’s comprehensive report contained practicable implementation advice and insights from contacts in 20 countries. Since this project was completed, the client has built a significant business in the European pet food market. 

The project had two main objectives.  The first was to obtain information about the companies manufacturing pet food in twenty European countries.  The second was to determine which were the most effective marketing channels that the client might employ to bring its pet food ingredients to the attention of these companies. In this project, CPL identified over 500 companies and contacted approximately 80 companies to get industry opinions on routes to market and the most attractive markets.
