NestlĂ© Purina is increasing its minority stake to improve and deliver ‘advanced pet food solutions and first-class pet care services’; majority shareholder EQT has pledged continued investment in the company; and Silver Lake, a leading global technology investment firm, is making a new substantial minority investment to help unlock and accelerate growth from digital and technology opportunities. ”
CEO Stephen Clarke said: This is a great expression of confidence in the company and our staff should be proud of what we have collectively achieved.
