Pet Food's Future is as Positive
as the StandUp Pouch

Pets for many years have become the new children in the USA.

Two demographics are responsible. Young people are marrying later, around 27 years, and are starting families later and have pets.  Baby Boomers like the companionship of a pet to spoil. Also the Boomers above 65 are growing at a faster rate than the rest of the population.

The need for all natural pet foods is increasing and the StandUp pouch with zipper is the package of choice.  Pouch good for humans, pouch good for pets.

Treats for animals are also growing at about 40% per year and the owners and the pets now eat treats together from pouches! Pet owners see their pets to be almost human. This indulgence is huge and a great contributor to the economy.

Today the pet food industry has led the growth in standup pouches. PPi Technologies GROUP is developing high-speed pouch machines to meet this continued growth.
