Reflecting on the Petfood Forum: A Strong Show for Parker Freeze Dry
A couple of weeks ago, the Parker Freeze Dry team had the opportunity to connect with the best and brightest in the animal companion industry at the annual Petfood Forum in Kansas City. As always, the event brought together professionals from around the globe for a packed agenda of speakers, seminars, and a bustling trade show floor filled with innovative products and technologies.
Our booth was a hub of activity, welcoming a steady stream of visitors—both established industry leaders and newcomers—interested in expanding their freeze-dry capabilities or entering the market for the first time. It’s clear that freeze drying continues to gain traction as a premium preservation method for pet food, and the interest in scalable solutions is only growing.
One of the highlights of the event was Matt’s Tech Talk, which was standing-room-only. Attendees were eager to dive into the fundamentals of scaling a freeze dry operation and how Parker Freeze Dry's technology and expertise can help companies navigate that journey with confidence.
Beyond the booth, the forum provided valuable time for our team to connect with experts and industry peers. As Ben put it, the event offered an incredible opportunity to build new relationships and better understand the many layers of the pet food industry—something that will benefit him as he continues growing his network and supporting our clients.
The energy, curiosity, and commitment to quality that we experienced at the Petfood Forum reaffirm our excitement about the direction of the industry and the role Parker Freeze Dry plays in helping businesses innovate and scale.
