Butternut Box intends to expand its European market as well as develop a new manufacturing facility.

Butternut Box, the UK-based fresh dog food company, has successfully secured a £280 million investment in its latest funding round. This funding comes from General Atlantic, a prominent global growth equity firm, as well as existing investor L Catterton, a consumer-focused investment firm. The goal of this investment is to expand Butternut Box’s presence in Europe and continue its mission of providing fresh, delicious, and healthy meals to dogs worldwide.

Butternut Box is the largest fresh dog food brand in Europe, serving dogs in various countries, including the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Poland (following its acquisition of PsiBufet). Since its establishment in 2016, Butternut Box has raised over £100 million in investments.

This new funding will be utilized to further enhance its position in the Fresh pet food category, focusing on European expansion and the development of a new manufacturing facility in Europe. (Businesswire)

Kevin Glynn, co-founder of Butternut Box, said the investment would benefit both dogs and humans by enabling continued innovation and growth.

David Nolan, co-founder of Butternut Box, said the company’s mission was to bring health and happiness to dogs everywhere.

Melis Kahya Akar, Managing Director and Head of Consumer for EMEA at General Atlantic said there was an immense growth opportunity across the Fresh pet food category in EMEA, and Butternut Box was well positioned to leverage it through its digitally enabled business model.
